Professor Iver Neumann (Montague Burton Professor of International Relations, LSE), Constructivism and the Turn to Practice. Discussant: Mr Quentin Bruneau (Oxford DPIR). Chair: Professor Todd Hall (University of Toronto).
This half-day workshop discussed the contributions of constructivism and what the future constructivist research agenda might look like. The Convenor was Professor Andrew Hurrell.
Session One: ‘The Role of Agency in Constructivism’
This book provides the first comprehensive overview of the history of democracy in Africa and explains why the continent's democratic experiments have so often failed, as well as how they could succeed. Nic Cheeseman grapples with some of the most important questions facing Africa and democracy today, including whether international actors should try and promote democracy abroad, how to design political systems that manage ethnic diversity, and why democratic governments often make bad policy decisions.
There is now a far more sophisticated understanding of the contested character of global order and of ‘non-western’ perspectives. Much work has been done to pluralize and relativize the study of IR, and to question a mainstream that is often unaware of the deeply western-centric character of its assumed historical narratives, its allegedly universal theoretical categories, and its political preoccupations. But where does this agenda go next?
