Abstract

With the advent of a new over the last few years this article seeks to explore the relationship between the recently introduced approach to international relations in psychology and the emergence of "psychological constructivism". Constructivism provides a good platform for the interconnection of international relations and psychology, and this productive link will open new perspectives on this field. After examining psychological constructivism, the article focuses on and responds to the criticisms that have been made of this new approach. The authors conclude from these studies that the headlines of psychological constructivism studies respond to the discipline's inevitable need to challenge the complexities of modern-day politics and international relations, and indeed a way to bring the field closer to the subject of its analysis of behavior. The social and political order of man is in the form of state and quasi-state order. Psychological constructivism thus not only makes possible the realization of the central promise of constructivists, that is, the presentation of image-based cross-structure and broker sequences at different levels of analysis, but is also an important step aside from rational claims based on the imposition of grand patterns and ultimately to make this discipline more humane than the humanities.
