ABSTRACT

While he began by making a case for the so-called ‘structurationist’ solution to the ‘agent-structure problem’, he has of late abandoned many of these earlier concerns in favour of a focus on ‘representational structures’ and the ‘construction of state identities’. With apologies to Karl Marx, Martin Heidegger and Ludwig Wittgenstein, we could perhaps make a polemical distinction between an ‘early’ and a ‘late’ Wendt.
