Talk:Public International Law/Methodology/Interdisciplinarity

Review: May 20, 2023
Dear Silvia and Tamsin,

Thank you both so much for doing an absolutely stellar job and contributing a chapter that will be one of the many things that make our textbook stand out among others. I have added a number of comments in the text regarding, mainly, some suggestions for restructuring (especially the IL and Language / IL and Literature and the IL and Ecomonics / IL and Psychology part) and some additional suggestions for scholarship you could highlight, but these are all 'nice to have'. Please don't feel pressured to address all of them in the short period of time that's still left (sorry for not managing to do this in-depth review earlier), but I still wanted to add them in case you found them helpful.

The summary (we are still calling it 'conclusion' in the heading, even though we have been debating if we should change this for all chapters) is still missing.

The chapter provides an in-depth analysis of interdisciplinary research methods, highlighting both the benefits and potential drawbacks of such approaches. The chapter is well-written and easy to understand, making it accessible to students of all levels. The chapter is exceptional. You do an excellent job of outlining the various interdisciplinary methods used in social sciences, providing both theoretical and practical examples. The use of research in each sub-area to demonstrate the application of interdisciplinary methods is a great idea, making the chapter more tangible and applicable. You also stress the importance of understanding the potential risks of interdisciplinary research methods. The further readings included in the chapter are diverse and comprehensive, providing students with a wealth of information to deepen their understanding.

At times, the chapter can be repetitive, particularly in the sections discussing the "how to" of applying interdisciplinary methods. Shortening these sections would improve the flow of the chapter.

You will find some comments in your chapter in which I elaborate on something more specifically. To view these comments, just open you chapter page and click on "Edit" in the top-right toolbox.

Note also that the following parts are still missing: required knowledge, learning objectives, summary

Some footnotes are not formatted according to OSCOLA.

This strikes me as an ideal structure for a chapter on interdisciplinary approaches, with just one exception. I do not see a section on law and philosophy in this chapter. This is surprising because the philosophy of international law is a major contemporary field and also, arguably, the first true instance of interdisciplinary writing on the subject (Grotius etc). With that small addition, however, I am happy that this is good to go. GlexAreen-York (discuss • contribs) 12:59, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
