Konstruktivizam Aleksandra Venta četvrt veka nakon njegove „Društvene teorije međunarodne politike”
THE ALEXANDER WENT’S CONSTRUCTIVISM A QUARTER OF A CENTURY AFTER HIS BOOK “SOCIAL THEORY OF INTERNATIONAL POLITICS”

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to critically and problematically look at the constructivist approach in international relations, with special attention to “thin” constructivism or “truncated” materialism, which was offered by Alexander Wendt in his well-known book “Social Theory of International Politics” a quarter of a century ago and thus questioned traditional approaches that were reflected in the importance attached to the structure of the international order. In addition, criticisms and already given evaluations of Wendt’s constructivism will be reviewed, with the aim of seeing from this time distance what remains the greatest contribution of constructivism in the study of international relations. Thus, the largest part of the work will be devoted to those aspects of the approach that, in our opinion, have left the biggest mark on the discipline – understanding changes and concepts of national interest and identity.
