The discipline of International Relations (IR) has also been thrown into upheaval and reconsidering and revising its theoretical apparatus.
This episode of The World Stage takes a step back and discusses the role of constructivism for illuminating the current moment with two of its leading theoreticians: Stefano Guzzini and Nicholas Onuf. Host is Senior Research Fellow Paul Beaumont.
The episode was recorded during the NUPI IR Theory Conference 2025.
