Using Germany's shift towards participation in international military operations as an illustration, she demonstrates why each version of constructivism fails in its own project and comes apart on the basis of its own assumptions. Inspired by Derridean thought, this book highlights the political consequences of constructivist representations of reality. Each critique concludes that constructivist notions of key concepts are impossible, and that this is not merely a question of theoretical inconsistency, but of politics. The book is premised on the notion that the 'empirical' and the 'theoretical' are less separate than is acknowledged in international relations, and must be read as intertwined. Zehfuss examines the scholars' role in international relations, worrying that, by looking to constructivism as the future, they will be severely curtailing their ability to act responsibly in this area. 410 0$aCambridge studies in international relations ;$v83. 606 $aInternational relations$xPhilosophy 606 $aConstructivism (Philosophy) 615 0$aInternational relations$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aConstructivism (Philosophy) 676 $a327.1/01 700 $aZehfuss$b Maja$01655635 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809391203321 996 $aConstructivism in international relations$94008080 997 $aUNINA
