Theoretical Foundations and Techniques for Conducting International Law Research from Critical Approaches: Fundamentos teóricos y técnicas para realizar investigaciones en derecho internacional desde enfoques críticos

This article aims to construct a state-of-the-art resource regarding the theoretical foundations and methodological options for any researcher interested in working with critical international law perspectives. The four views chosen for this exercise (TWAIL, CILS, feminist theories, and social idealism) will be dissected regarding their theoretical foundations and relevant research methods and techniques. It establishes the framing of critical research in international law through monodisciplinary, multidisciplinarity, and interdisciplinarity, depending upon the interaction between legal-international concepts and methods.
