Resumen
Inicialmente se presenta el constructivismo en las Relaciones Internacionales. Frente al individualismo racionalista y el materialismo realista la alternativa constructivista es estructuralista e idealista; estructuras e ideas, agentes y estructuras se constituyen mutuamente. A continuación se centra el artículo en el constructivismo social aplicado a la Unión Europea, a la que llega en el último decenio del siglo XX y produce más tarde vigorosos debates, que van perdiendo fuerza mientras se impone la conveniencia de tender puentes entre las variantes del constructivismo social, pero sin llegar a una «comunidad constructivista». Se exponen después algunos recientes estudios empíricos constructivistas sobre identidad(es) europea(s), así como intentos de reintroducir el poder en las aproximaciones constructivistas a la Unión Europea. Finalmente unas reflexiones cierran el artículo.
Constructivism in International Relations is introduced in the first place. Unlike rationalist individualism and realist materialism the constructivist alternative is structuralist and idealist in nature; structures and ideas, agents and structures are mutually constituted. Then the article focus on social constructivism applied to the European Union in the last decade of the twentieth century, later producing vigorous debates, which gradually lost strength as the desirability of bridging variants of social constructivism imposed itself, but without leading to a "constructivist community". Some recent empirical constructivist studies on European identity and attempts to reintroduce power in constructivist approaches to the European Union are then dealt with. Some final reflections close the article.
