Constructivist theories in International Relations (IR) posit that the international system is socially constructed through shared ideas, norms, and identities rather than solely by material forces. Key features include the premise that "anarchy is what states make of it," the mutual constitution of agents and structures, and the belief that state interests are changeable and socially constructed.

Key features of constructivism in IR include:

• Social Construction of Reality
• Ideational Factors Over Material Factors
• Anarchy is What States Make of It: Coined by Alexander Wendt
• Mutual Constitution of Agents and Structures
• Identities and Interests are Fluid
• Role of Norms and Discourse
