<i>On Global Learning</i> and the politics of the New Constructivism

Jason Ralph’s On Global Learning is a powerful scholarly achievement that deserves the sustained engagement afforded leading international political theorists such as Cynthia Enloe, Friedrich Kratochwil, Nicholas Rengger, J. Ann Tickner, and RBJ Walker. This forum represents a welcome start. By way of a limited contribution, my aim is to push forward an ongoing debate with Ralph on the politics of Constructivism in IR theory. The question on the table, in short, is: What are IR Constructivism’s political and ethical commitments?
