Difference between Social Constructivism and Realism | International Relations | Arslan Zahid Khan |

The Realist Approach regards international politics as struggle for power among nations and justifies as natural the attempts of a nation to use national power for securing the goals of its national interest. It rejects the Idealist Approach as a Utopian approach. In fact both Idealism and Realism are opposed and competing approaches and each offers a particular view of international relations.
Whereas, Constructivism is a distinctive approach to international relations that emphasizes the social, or inter subjective, dimension of world politics. Constructivists insist that international relations cannot be reduced to rational action and interaction within material constraints (as some realists claim) or within institutional constraints at the international and national levels (as argued by some liberal internationalists). For constructivists, state interaction is not among fixed national interests, but must be understood as a pattern of action that shapes and is shaped by identities over time.
