LE MANUEL DU CHERCHEUR EN RELATIONS INTERNATIONALES Étudier les relations internationales, tenter de les décrire, de les comprendre, de les comparer, de les interpréter, d'en proposer des approches théoriques, c'est-à-dire faire de la recherche dans ce domaine, nécessite d'utiliser divers outils. De l'usage des archives à la traduction des résultats par la cartographie, de la conduite d'un entretien à l'analyse de données quantitatives, de la constitution d'un corpus aux interprétations toujours délicates des images et des discours, la recherche sur les relations internationales s'appuie ainsi sur les méthodes générales aux sciences sociales. Car, au-delà des particularités de ce champ d'étude, le fait international est d'abord un fait social. Grâce à de nombreux cas expliqués, et à l'expertise d'une vingtaine de chercheurs et enseignants, cet ouvrage propose la synthèse des principales ressources et méthodes appliquées pour mener une enquête en relations internationales

Do international institutions really contribute to building a lasting peace? As diplomats, practitioners with these institutions, and experts on their processes, the authors underline the strengths and weaknesses that international actors have created and won't abandon.

L'action collective internationale fait face à un déficit de légitimité, aggravé par une complexité institutionnelle grandissante. Comment requalifier et renforcer le multilatéralisme ?

A história das solidariedades transnacionais é relativamente recente. Ela é inseparável de uma maior interação entre as sociedades europeias no início do século 19 e da emergência de um sistema internacional. A solidariedade se torna então um "fato social" e não mais, apenas, um valor moral. Sua transnacionalização, que enfrenta problemas de definição, se desenvolve dentro de condições precisas. A partir de uma perspectiva sócio-histórica, o estudo das solidariedades transnacionais é dessa forma duplamente instrutivo para os internacionalistas. Ele se amparaem fenômenos sociais que se apresentam como marcadores e fatores de transformação nas relações internacionais contemporâneas.

Global governance belongs to the rhetoric of abstract words which everyone has to deal with but without really knowing what it is. In order to take the idea seriously, we need to first return to its origin, then give a more precise definition of its two main characteristics: on the one hand a configuration of actors, and on the other a fairly general objective: regulation. These characteristics are not fixed. By examining the way they have changed, we attempt to find out what is behind the "evolution" of international cooperation. ; La gouvernance mondiale appartient à cette rhétorique de mots abstraits avec lesquels tout le monde compose sans savoir exactement de quoi il s'agit. Prendre la notion au sérieux consiste d'abord à revenir sur son origine. Il s'agit ensuite de définir plus précisément ses deux caractéristiques principales : d'une part, une configuration d'acteurs et d'autre part, un objectif assez général de régulation. Ces caractéristiques ne sont pas fixes et en examinant leurs transformations, on peut tenter de savoir ce qui fait « l'évolution » de la coopération internationale.
