TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employ comparison and attempt to eliminate rival interpretation by choosing two or more cases that match in important respects, and conclude that the two complement one another and ultimately must be combined.
Abstract: IPE scholars frequently use qualitative methods to contribute to theory-building, but we could get greater value from them. Single case studies are actually a family of research designs: the disciplined interpretive case study, the hypothesis-generating case study, the least-likely, most-likely, and deviant case studies. The method of difference employs comparison and attempts to eliminate rival interpretation by choosing two or more cases that match in important respects. These methods enjoy several inherent advantages relative to statistical methods, and they suffer from several disadvantages. Neither family of methods is sufficient. The two complement one another and ultimately must be combined.

TL;DR: The authors applied a methodology utilized in economics to study citation patterns in two International Studies Association journals and found that male authors of ISQ and ISP articles are less likely to cite work by female scholars in comparison with female authors.
Abstract: This paper applies a methodology utilized in economics to study citation patterns in two International Studies Association journals. The paper analyzes articles published in International Studies Quarterly (ISQ) and International Studies Perspectives (ISP) in 2005. Comparisons are made based on the sex of the authors of articles and the sex of the cited authors in each paper's bibliography. Empirical analyses suggest that male authors of ISQ and ISP articles are less likely to cite work by female scholars in comparison with female authors. Mixed-gender author teams are also significantly less likely to cite research by female scholars relative to female article authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the context of the global regulation of movement of individuals and the evolution of the passport in particular, and then examined the current American border security architecture, and evaluated the new policies in regard to three cases: the U.S/Canada border, the document/examination policies at the American borders, and the European Schengen mobility regime.
Abstract: After September 11, 2001, a great deal of public and policy attention has been devoted to border security, passports, and the global mobility regime. This article examines the context of the global regulation of movement of individuals and the evolution of the passport in particular. It then examines the current American border security architecture. The creation of the Homeland Security Department reflects a sea-change in the view of the border, and these new policies are evaluated in regard to three cases: the U.S./Canada border, the document/examination policies at the American borders, and the European Schengen mobility regime.

TL;DR: In this article, a pedagogy for using simulations to teach International Relations (IR) theory has been developed, and three simulations are compared: Classical Realism Game, Prisoner's Dilemma to the N th degree, and Diplomacy.
Abstract: After reviewing the advantages and disadvantages in using simulations to teach International Relations, this paper develops pedagogy for using simulations to teach International Relations (IR) theory. After discussing methods for integrating simulations into a class on IR theory the paper then goes on to present three simulations and the theories that they can be used to teach. The three simulations are the Classical Realism Game, Prisoner’s Dilemma to the N th degree, and Diplomacy. Finally, the three simulations are compared.

TL;DR: The authors analyzes recent conceptual developments in post-conflict peacebuilding, relating them to new thinking about fragile states, and analyzes the international architecture for addressing postconflict reconstruction and peacebuilding.
Abstract: Scholars and practitioners of international relations have devoted increasing attention to how cease-fires, once achieved, may be translated into sustained peace. In recent years, the United Nations, the World Bank, and the United States and other governments have revamped their institutional architecture for addressing post-conflict reconstruction and peacebuilding. The creation in 2006 of a UN Peacebuilding Commission exemplifies these changes. The relationship between weak states and the durability of peace has acquired new emphasis in IR research. This article analyzes recent conceptual developments in post-conflict peacebuilding, relating them to new thinking about fragile states. It then analyzes the international architecture for addressing post-conflict peacebuilding, identifying gaps, and analyzing likely policy challenges in the near future. We argue that despite important analytic insights and institutional changes, serious challenges persist in efforts to prevent wars from recurring.
