Abstract :

In this article, the author attempts to fill the gap arisingfrom the lack of attention to the methodology in the field oflaw. Through putting forth the discussion of the methodologyof international law, he paves the way for researchers andstudents of international law and related fields. Studying thedominant methodological and theoretical currents in the fieldof international law, new outlooks, which were proposed inthe Methodology of International Law Symposium in 1991,are introduced and assessed. In this context, the first sectionof the article deals with the methodology in general. The othersections refer to the category of methods and methodology,and methodology in philosophy and legal studies. The authorfinally pays attention to the point that the understanding andcommand of the methods and approaches are necessary withrespect to the recognition of sources, incremental codificationand development, implementation, interpretation and judgmentat all levels of the study of international law.
