Review of the book Constructing a Global Political Community: Essays on the Institutionalization of International Relations مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

Before starting the book's content, Ruggie, by stating his intellectual background, considers the collection of articles in the book to represent his scientific efforts in the path of the social constructivism approach (1), which is considered a turning point in the study of International Relations, and he himself considers it a challenge to the neo-utilitarianism (2) presented in the theories of realism and liberal institutionalism. In comparing the assumptions of constructivism with those of utilitarianism, Raggi argues that neo-utilitarianism considers the identities and interests of actors as external and sometimes based on anarchic conditions, rather than internal and socially constructed, which are very important and an unreliable concept. Raggi, unlike other theories of international relations that attribute regimes to the hegemony of powers, argues that the existence of regimes stems from the institutionalized order of established liberalism, which, of course, has a fundamental relationship with the United States. Raggi, unlike other theories of international relations that attribute regimes to the hegemony of powers, argues that the existence of regimes stems from the institutionalized order of established liberalism, which, of course, has a fundamental relationship with the United States. These discussions include: foreign policy concerns for the United States that involve globalization based on the country's interests, the continuation of NATO in the absence of the Soviet Union, and the possibility of the success of United Nations peacekeeping operations after the Cold War. In connection with these issues, Raggi seeks to establish a connection between two prominent theories of international relations, neorealism and neoliberal institutionalism, and the novel theory of social constructivism.
