| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Since the mid-1990s, identity has re-emerged as a key concept within
international relations theory. The social constructivist view of international
relations considers cultural variables, and particularly identity, as prime
agents in states' decision-making. For constructivists, identity is "the core
building block of interest, national or otherwise," and therefore they see
national identity and the national interests that derive from it as central in
state action1
. In the case of Canada, the concept of identity was, in the past,
central to the analysis of history. |
