Book Synopsis
Realism and constructivism are often viewed as competing paradigms for understanding International Relations, but a number of scholars are now arguing that the two are compatible. This volume, from one of the leading proponents of realist constructivism, combines both exposition and critique of realist constructivist approaches with a series of international case studies to show what realist constructivist research can look like in practice.
