The agent-structure problem is a much discussed issue in the field
of international relations. In his comprehensive 2006 analysis of
this problem, Colin Wight deconstructs the accounts of structure
and agency embedded within differing IR theories and, on the basis
of this analysis, explores the implications of ontology - the
metaphysical study of existence and reality. Wight argues that
there are many gaps in IR theory that can only be understood by
focusing on the ontological differences that construct the
theoretical landscape. By integrating the treatment of the
agent-structure problem in IR theory with that in social theory,
Wight makes a positive contribution to the problem as an issue of
concern to the wider human sciences. At the most fundamental level
politics is concerned with competing visions of how the world is
and how it should be, thus politics is ontology.
