Compare Constructivism in International Relations by Maja Zehfuss, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Maja Zehfuss critiques constructivist theories of international relations (currently considered to be at the cutting edge of the discipline) and finds them wanting and even politically dangerous. Zehfuss uses Germany's first shift toward using its military abroad after the end of the Cold War to illustrate why constructivism does not work and how it leads to particular analytical outcomes and forecloses others. She argues that scholars are limiting their abilities to act responsibly in international relations by looking towards constructivism as the future. | Constructivism in International Relations by Maja Zehfuss, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
