Abstract
This chapter considers research design and methods in international planning studies. It is noted that, whilst such studies often employ a similar range of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research designs and methods of data collection and analysis as general planning studies, their use in international planning research can raise specific issues to consider. The importance of generating valid analysis which accounts for context, culture, and language, when studying planning internationally is stressed. The chapter notes that whilst international planning studies can be methodologically quite challenging, they also have the potential to generate valuable insights, not just on how things work in ‘other’ places and around the globe but, through comparison, on how and why planning operates as it does in one’s own ‘home’ context.
