Aproximaciones constructivistas a la Unión Europea
Abstract
Constructivism in International Relations is introduced in the first place. Unlike rationalist individualism and realist materialism the constructivist alternative is structuralist and idealist in nature; structures and ideas, agents and structures are mutually constituted. Then the article focus on social constructivism applied to the European Union in the last decade of the twentieth century, later producing vigorous debates, which gradually lost strength as the desirability of bridging variants of social constructivism imposed itself, but without leading to a “constructivist community. Some recent empirical constructivist studies on European identity and attempts to reintroduce power in constructivist approaches to the European Union are then dealt with. Some final reflections close the article.
