More recommended reading, on constructivism in IR theory. I recommended part of this debate to Baltar a while ago, but continue to follow the discussion about constructivist theory (especially as I am engaged in some myself).
For the uninitiated, constructivism is an alternative to the traditional liberal/realist divide in IR. However there are some who argue that constructivism is really "liberal" while others maintain that it is neutral of such ties.
This series of discussions speaks directly to my comments on Henry's article about academic blogging. It is precisely the kind of things that is not happening enough within the academy, but is flourishing on the internets.
And when they bring up Habermas, oh dear, how it takes me back to comprehensive exams and my Morning Methodology.
