Social Constructivism in international relations and the Gender Dimension

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on Social Constructivism in International Relations, this work examines its emergence alongside Feminist Constructivism, highlighting the importance of interactions, discourse, and sociality over traditional views centered on power and materiality. It positions Constructivism as a middle ground between realism and liberalism, emphasizing the role of ideas, norms, and culture in shaping social life. The paper critiques materialist theories, arguing that social facts like money and rights are constructed through shared ideational forces, thus influencing identities and interests in political contexts.
