Morality and Symbolic Politics in International Relations

Abstract

Perceptions of the role that international norms and ethics play in contemporary international relations are largely determined by the theoretical position one has in the field. For example, realists and constructivists tend to take opposing positions when debating whether international norms have any significant impact on international political conduct. What are the conflicting views on the pursuit of justice and morality in international politics – or the lack thereof? And how do these theoretical perspectives adapt to changing circumstances?
