The second edition has been revised and updated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis textbook is a practical guide to research design in this increasingly established field. Arguing for serious attention to questions of research design and method, the book develops accessible scholarly overviews of key methods used across critical security studies, such as ethnography, discourse analysis, materiality, and corporeal methods. It draws on prominent examples of each method's objects of analysis, relevant data, and forms of data collection. The book's defining feature is the collection of diverse accounts of research design from scholars working within each method, each of which is a clear and honest recounting of a specific project's design and development. This second edition is extensively revised and expanded. Its 33 contributors reflect the sheer diversity of critical security st\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Questions of method have become increasing pertinent to the pedagogies and research practices of critical security studies. \u003cem\u003eResearch Methods in Critical Security Studies\u003c\/em\u003e (2nd edition) makes a timely contribution by providing a range of answers to these questions. In doing so, RMCSS strikes a judicious balance that will appeal to seasoned researchers looking to adopt new approaches as well as students who may be embarking upon their first substantive research project in the field. While richly informed by cutting edge conceptual, methodological, and theoretical literature, the discussions are practical, precise, and plain-spoken—they cut straight to the chase in order to equip the reader with capabilities to do reflexive research in critical security studies and navigate common challenges found within and across methods. With new chapters and updated materials, the 2nd edition captures recent developments within the field while maintaining the accessibility and pragmatism that were hallmarks of the first edition. As such, the 2nd edition is an excellent teaching and research resource for everyone in the field.’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKyle Grayson,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e Newcastle University, UK\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'This volume shows how doing critical and reflexive research can go hand-in-hand with rigorous methodology.

It is filled with useful practical examples and fascinating case studies.
