Constructive approach to international relations

Abstract

The 1990s were very important years because they introduced a new approach to the International Relations discipline such as Constructivism. These years were also very productive and full of innovations for international relations. Mainstream theories such as Realism and Liberalism, which already exist in the field, failed to predict and explain the end of the Cold War theoretically. Such an environment has created a very suitable basis for the Constructivist approach, which is based on social and political theories. Alexander Wendt's “Anarchy is What States Make of It: Social Construction of Power Policies” has become one of the important works on Constructivism in the discipline of International Relations.
