This rare opportunity to view IR's intellectual landscape through Onuf's keen observations and astute interpretations is not to be missed.' - V. Spike Peterson! Professor of International Relations! University of Arizona! USA'In a period of rethinking what constructivism is and does! this wonderful and thought-provoking volume provides careful reflection on the pivotal work of Nick Onuf! renowned as one of the founders of constructivism in International Relations. While rich in social theory! the texts are simultaneously often intimate and personal! providing almost a dialogue-in-print between the contributors and Onuf. The contributors also skillfully weave in commentary on the sociology of constructivism as practiced in IR during the past twenty-five years. The result is an accessible yet theoretically sophisticated volume which encourages a return to and re-engagement with Onuf's work as constructivism develops as a perspective. In short! a truly joyous and stimulating read.' - Ann Towns! Associate Professor of Political Science and Wallenberg Academy Fellow! University of Gothenburg!
