The aim of this research is to analyse how social science research methods in general and research methods for progressive study in international relations in particular have the potential of unifying the modern-day investigative forces of international relations research which should be treated as complementary to one another. This research paper contends that scientific methods induced by researchers of various schools of thought in international relations research, such as those induced by classical realists, positivists, neo-positivists and liberals, need to be practically legitimized by self-regulating mechanisms of international relations research. On the other hand, an epistemological approach to advance qualitative research in the international relations discipline will overtly demand the collaboration with other streams of social science research. In addition to this, such a progressive research methodology should always be pursued in accordance with the collaborative research objectives of other behavioural sciences. This is primarily beneficial for researchers and political scientists who intend to derive research questions by challenging concurrent historical approaches. This research also argues that in order to strengthen the outreach of the quantitative pragmatist approach for progressive and advanced research in international relations, much needs to be done when it comes to the unjustifiable consolidation of one-sided polarized theories. Lastly, academic and scholarly restrictions should be sufficiently relaxed to allow international relations research to spread across more specific and scientific streams of knowledge.
