Constructive Sovereignty is an emerging international relations
(IR) model intended to allow IR scholars to address changing
international realities. Specifically, the model endogenizes
phenomena such as non-state actors and globalization's increasing
onslaught against state sovereignty. Constructive Sovereignty
maintains that states are not the primary actors, their
constituents are. Therefore preferences are not fixed as in
state-centric models. Since states merely represent the preferences
of their respective constituents, they will only adhere to and
ultimately embed those international norms that their constituents
will accept. However, rather than attempting to explain, describe
and predict the adoption of such international norms via the
influence of international organizations (as with liberalism's
top-down approach), or via state- centric regimes (as with
neo-liberalism's bottom-up approach), Constructive Sovereignty
posits that ultimately change comes from the inside out.
