Three Puzzles in Search of a ResearcherPresidential Address

Three Puzzles in Search of a ResearcherPresidential Address Abstract Although everyone is for “more theory,” most of us have rather little understanding of how to get “more theory.” This essay suggests one approach to theory development: thinking in terms of puzzles. To develop the concept of “puzzlement,” three bodies of literature are reviewed, and sets of conflicting evidence are presented as puzzles. The solutions to the puzzles are left to the next generation of IR researchers.

Abstract

Abstract Although everyone is for “more theory,” most of us have rather little understanding of how to get “more theory.” This essay suggests one approach to theory development: thinking in terms of puzzles. To develop the concept of “puzzlement,” three bodies of literature are reviewed, and sets of conflicting evidence are presented as puzzles. The solutions to the puzzles are left to the next generation of IR researchers. This content is only available as a PDF. © 1980 I.S.A.
