RAMIREZ MEDA, Kenia María y MARQUEZ DUARTE, Fernando David. Methodological integration as a research tool for international relations. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2021, vol.11, n.22, e052. Epub 20-Sep-2021. ISSN 2007-7467. https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v11i22.913.
This article is intended to bring the reader to the application of methods in the study of International Relations science with special emphasis on methodological integration. With this in mind, first we explain the qualitative methodology, and how it differs from the quantitative methodology and which are their tools. In a second part, we introduce to the reader to the use of the comparative method, which provides extremely rich results since it allows to explain patterns and regularities between different social, political and institutional systems. In a third part, we address the methodological integration, as a result of the use of different methods, to integrate qualitative with quantitative data, with the ultimate goal of a more complete analysis and processing of information which leads to more accurate and comprehensive conclusion. Afterwards, we illustrate the application of the methodological integration with a research carried out from the perspective of comparative case study on the border between Mexico and the United States. Finally, we present the conclusions of the work.
