Postpositivism (international relations)
ID: postpositivism-international-relations
Postpositivism in international relations refers to a theoretical perspective that critiques and moves beyond the positivist approach traditionally prevalent in the field. Where positivism emphasizes empirical observation, hypothesis testing, and the idea that social phenomena can be understood similarly to natural sciences, postpositivism argues for a more nuanced understanding of social realities.
