Psychology and Constructivism in International Relations: An Ideational Alliance

Vaughn Shannon (Editor), Paul A. Kowert (Editor)

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

Constructivist IR scholars study the ways in which international norms, culture, and identities - all intersubjective phenomena - inform foreign policy and affect the reaction to and outcomes of international events. Political psychologists similarly investigate divergent national self-conceptions, as well as the individual cognitive and emotional propensities that shape ideology and policy.
