Constructivist ethics in international relations / Sen, Souradeep

Sen, Souradeep	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

With the end of the Cold War the international scenario changed putting end to the erstwhile Cold War ‘brinkmanship’. It ushered in flexibility and openness. It soon became obvious that the neo-realist theory was not at all clear about the future developments of the ‘balance of power’. The older debates were replaced with two new debates: one between ‘rationalists’ and ‘constructivists’ and the other between ‘constructivists’ and ‘critical theorists’. Although some scholars opine that the historical context (the end of Cold War) and the theoretical discussion among IR scholars set the stage for a constructivist approach, it would be more correct to argue that the catalyst for this shift in the axes of debate was the rise of a new constructivist approach to international relations theory.3 This approach challenged the rationalism and positivism of neo-realism and neo-liberalism while simultaneously pushing critical theorists away from meta-theoretical critique to the empirical analysis of world politics.
