A landmark academic work that uses social-theoretical analysis to explain how international politics is shaped not just by material power or structure but by shared ideas, identities, culture, and social relationships. Alexander Wendt develops a constructivist framework arguing that state interests and identities are socially constructed — offering a powerful alternative to realist and liberal paradigms in international relations.
