Interest, Institutions, and Information: Domestic Politics and International Relations "is one of the translated works by Dongfang Translation.

Helen Milner's "Interests, Institutions, and Information: Domestic Politics and International Relations" (hereinafter referred to as "Interests, Institutions, and Information") is a creative work in theoretical construction and representative in theoretical testing of international relations. In terms of theoretical construction, the book 'Interests, Institutions, and Information' proposes an internally coherent theory that combines domestic politics and international relations. Milner's theory of international cooperation ensures the simplicity and internal coherence of the theory while incorporating domestic politics into the analysis. In terms of theoretical testing, the author fully utilized the advantages of comparative case studies through conscious case selection and careful case design, minimizing the problem of "selection bias" that troubles case studies as much as possible, and thus reliably tested the hypotheses proposed in the book through small sample case analysis.
Scholars have always attached great importance to the impact of domestic politics on international relations, but have always been troubled by how to systematically explain the interaction between domestic politics and international relations. Although research on the role of domestic politics in international relations has developed since the 1960s and 1970s, these studies have been pushed to the edge of international relations research under the challenge of structural realism. In the 20th century and 1990s, research on the role of domestic politics was revived under the "double layered game" model. Milner's book "Interests, Institutions, and Information" is a representative of reintroducing domestic politics into international relations research.
Compared to quantitative research, case analysis not only has the advantages of saving time and resources, but also has the advantages of deeply describing the event process and helping to understand the causal process. However, using small sample case analysis to test theoretical hypotheses requires the author to have a high level of methodological awareness in case selection and research design. This book is a model of consciously using case analysis methods to test theoretical hypotheses.
