摘要:The social theory of international politics by Alexander Wendt, was originally published in 1999 at the Cambridge University Press, and after 12 years it was translated by Mihai Cristian Bra.oveau and pu‐ blished in Romania, by the Polirom Publishing House. This book is con‐ sidered a canonical work for the International Relations Theory area. Based on the theory of social constructivism, Alexander Wendt has suggested an alternative to the theory of international relations, which represented one of the most important contributions in this field for the last period of time. The work is first of all of theoretical nature, builds and rethinks the international relations as an academic/scientific disci‐ pline. Wendt considered that the theme of his work is "the ontology of international life" (p. 358).
