Alexander Wendt and the English schoolSuganami, Hidemi (Avtor) Alexander WendtEnglish Schoolconstructivisminternational anarchyinternational co-operationagent-strucrure relationstheory of international relationsAlexander Wendt's Social Theory of International Politics and some standard works of the English School share a theory of human nature, state-centrism, a cultural approach and stress on agential self-restraint. Wendt's hypothetical narratives of collective identity formation and some English School writers' treatment of the evolution of international relations are compared, and their complementarity and relative merits are discussed. The conclusion is reached that there is no sharp epistemological divide between the two approaches, criticising both for their lack of meta-historical reflexivity.20012022-03-30 13:43:16Članek v reviji135788UDK: 327ISSN pri članku: 1408-6980COBISS_ID: 117061888sl
