investigation. It plays a role In all parts of the research process; from the objective of ones investigation to
the research method one chooses. It effects each stage of research and the
decisions one makes in terms of carrying out their research. Methods respond to
the objectives of investigation and the theories that support them, the results
of the investigation support, refute and modify the theory used. This is how
theory lives on and thus theory is, according to the author, the nucleus of the
investigation.

to academic research in IR. Realizing that theory is the center of research is
important for understanding the research process.
