This title was first published 2000: The book applies
constructivist arguments about culture, norms and identity to
explain the superpower negotiations that produced the INF Treaty.
It contributes to the constructivist research program in two ways.
First, it develops a speech act model of social interaction to
illustrate constructivist arguments and second, it develops a
constructivist theory of security dilemmas that suggests practical
ways to resolve them. The substantive conclusion of the book is
that the dominant understanding of the end of the Cold War (the
buildup argument) is not correct as it advocates policies that tend
to perpetuate conflicts. Instead this book argues that the 'new
thinking' explanation is more coherent and suggests improved
practical ways to resolve other security dilemmas.
