國際關係「建構主義」的原型、分類與爭論－－以Onuf、Kratochwil和Wendt的觀點為分析

The Prototype, Categorization, and Debates of Constructivism: Onuf, Kratochwil, and Wendt

建構主義是個哲學立場，它被甲進國際關係理論研究之後，衝擊到既有的主流理論與理論論述。學者對建構主義存有各自不同的觀點與分類，亦存有許多知識論與方法論的爭論，但這正呈現出建構主義的多元性，以及國際關係理論研究的活力。即皮建構主義雖尚不是一個明確的國際關係理論，但它已經成功地引起學界對於國際關係理論研究的哲學基礎論辯。

As a philosophical position, constructivism was introduced to International Relations Theory (IRT) in order to criticize the established or mainstream theories. Constructivist scholars not only have different perspectives and categories, among them selves, but also have various ontological and epistemological debates. However, this reflects the pluralism of constructivism and the dynamics of IRT. Though constructivism is a vague international relations theory, it has provoked successfully philosophical debates about the foundation of IRT.
