Doing Fieldwork in Areas of International Intervention

Over the last two decades, an increasing number of scholars within international relations and political science have started to conduct fieldwork in faraway places on various aspects of international interventions into violent conflict. However, too often there has not been the practical guidance available to help negotiate the particular challenges that this type of fieldwork brings. This edited collection brings together researchers who have conducted fieldwork in areas of international intervention to reflect on the work they have carried out, the problems and constraints they have encountered, and the strategies they have developed to overcome them. The contributions are organized into four sections, addressing distinct but interrelated aspects of fieldwork in areas of international intervention into violent conflict.
