Constant Change

Of all the theories we have gone over in class, I think that Constructivism relates more to the world that we live in today, primarily because of the idea that change is always constant. It makes perfect sense that because actors are always acting, there will be in change and vice versa. The idea of acceptable action also seems to tie in with current international relations; it is true that during every possible moment there are always two different choices that a leader, state, etc could make – that of change or not to change. Instead of looking at self-interest or the threat of punishment, Constructivists actually believe in rules and think that the rules are an extension of their identity.
