Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag befasst sich mit den Ursprüngen, Grundkonzepten und der dynamischen Entwicklung sozialkonstruktivistischer Ansätze in den internationalen Beziehungen. Drei analytische Teilschritte rahmen das Argument: Zunächst werden die geistes- und realgeschichtlichen Bezüge sowie wichtige transdisziplinäre Gemeinsamkeiten sozial-konstruktivistischer Ansätze diskutiert. Folgend werden grundlegende Annahmen und Konzepte vorgestellt und die dynamische Entwicklung des Forschungsprogramms in drei Wellen nachvollzogen. Sodann werden zentrale Erkenntnisse zusammengefasst. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer Überlegung darüber, welche Herausforderungen die zukünftige Forschung – beispielsweise bei der Analyse von Institutionen und Machtrelationen für die Sprecherpositionen in Diskursen – adressieren sollte.

Notes
- 1.
Für einen solchen Versuch siehe Finnemore und Sikkink (2001: 391). Danach kennzeichnen SK-Ansätze drei Annahmen: 1) menschliche Interaktion wird primär durch ideationelle Faktoren, nicht materielle bestimmt; 2) die wichtigsten ideationellen Faktoren sind weitverbreitete ‘intersubjektive Überzeugungen’, die nicht auf einzelne Individuen zurückbezogen werden können; 3) diese intersubjektiven Überzeugungen konstruieren die Interessen von zielgerichteten Akteuren.
- 2.
Vgl. bspw. die (erneute) Kontroverse um eine kritische Normenforschung: Engelkamp/Glaab/Renner 2012 und die sich daran anschließende Debatte in der ZIB.
- 3.
Korrekterweise müsste es ‚die Sozialkonstruktivismen‘ heißen, da in den jeweiligen Forschungsbeiträgen oft einzelne Konstruktionen, bspw. Normen oder Identitäten, die Hauptlast im Erkenntnisprozess tragen.

Ein Verfahren, das in der Europaforschung auch weidlich Anwendung fand: vgl. Börzel und Risse 2003.
