SoSe 15: Worlds of our Making: Constructivist Theories of International Relations
Tobias Berger
Kommentar
This course offers an advanced introduction to the development of constructivists theorizing about global politics. It covers prominent constructivist theories in IR as well as their social theoretical foundations, different methodological strategies for conducting constructivist research, and selected case studies. Throughout the course, particular emphasis will be on feminist and postcolonial contributions to as well as critical engagements with constructivist approaches in IR. One of the overarching questions of this course therefore is: whose worlds have different constructivists actually investigated when they studied the "world of our making" (Onuf, 1989)? The course starts with the influence of the linguistic turn on theorizing about international politics; it then explores commonalities and differences between what later became to be known as "conventional", "interpretative", and "critical/radical" constructivist approaches; and finally, the course investigates (a) the extent to which there really is a "common ground" between these different variants of constructivist theories and (b) how core propositions of these theories can be translated into empirical research agendas.
