Summary

This volume addresses both Wendt's social theory and international relations theory, exploring a variety of constructivist debates without reducing constructivism to one single position.These leading editors begin with a general introduction and chapter that provides an accessible summary of Wendt's theory and the first generation of debates. They then bring together a series of important articles by some leading theorists to focus on the specific issues in the meta-theoretical and theoretical challenges posed by his work, and constructivism more generally. Finally, Wendt concludes the book with a detailed response to the issues and questions raised.
