ABSTRACT

It has oĞen been stated that the constructivist program of study is more a field of inquiry rather than a coherent theory.1 It permeates all facets of the social sciences, including, over the past several decades, the field of international relations. While the various social sciences focus on particular aspects of constructed reality, they largely stem from the same common root-human interpreted subjectivity. From within the international relations domain, the focus centers on the cognitive and sociological processes that help shape domestic and international affairs.
