Perhaps you've already gone this literature? Anyway, hope they help. Jennifer Milliken has readable piece in European Journal of International Relations: "The Study of Discourse in Itnernational Relations: A Critique of Research and Methods," EJIR 5 (2) (1999), 225-254. Norman Fairclough (2001), "Critical Discourse Analysis as a Method in Social Scientific Research," in Ruth Wodak and Michael Meyer, eds., "Methods of Critical Discourse Analysis" (London: Sage), 121-138. You should also try to get a hold of the newsletters from APSA's new qualitative methods section. The second newsletter had a symposium on Discourse and Content Analysis. "Qualitative Method" 2 (1), 15-40. It's quite good. You might also look at Roxanne Lynn-Doty (1993), "Foreign Policy as Social Construct," ISQ 37 (3), 297-320, which has a nice section on the method she uses, rooted in discourse analysis.
