International lawInternational law (also known as public international law and the law of nations) is the set of rules, norms, and standards generally recognised as binding between states. It establishes normative guidelines and a common conceptual framework for states across a broad range of domains, including war and diplomacy, economic relations, and human rights. International law differs from state-based domestic legal systems in that it is primarily, though not exclusively, applicable to states, rather than to individuals, and operates largely through consent, since there is no universally accepted authority to enforce it upon sovereign states.

Grounded theoryGrounded theory is a systematic methodology that has been largely applied to qualitative research conducted by social scientists.

A study based on grounded theory is likely to begin with a question, or even just with the collection of qualitative data.
