Abstract

[This chapter raises a critique of methodological nationalism’s dominancy in the way transnationality is studied within mainstream International Relations and adopts Beckian methodological cosmopolitanism for going beyond such a scholarly bias. Methodological cosmopolitanism, the study suggests, would enable IR and foreign policy scholarship (1) to elaborate and report the world they are studying (or the knowledge about the realities of it) without contributing to its reification as a material setting, and (2) to better understand the transnational and cosmopolitan shifts the contemporary world has gone through, by which the core units, levels and structures of research the scholarship adopt would be transnationally redefined. Here, the chapter introduces a domestic global politics framework as part of a quest for transnational cosmopolitan foreign policy research and applies it to explaining the transnational character and complexity of the Syrian civil war and the responses to it from within territorial Turkey.]
