| Popis | The following paper investigates two periods of the U.S.-Israeli relationship (1982-1993) and (2006-2012) respectfully. The theoretical argument is that both nations act as agents in mutual support in an environment of International Relations, following the constructivist avenue of inquiry that compliments their interests and within its historical and social construction is understood rather than the oft-cited inevitable consequence of human nature. Moreover, in competitive systems such as the Cold War and current post-Cold War era the special and strategic relations between the two nations have created and maintained trust and compatibility despite periods of strain. The following paper will briefly trace the background of Constructivist ontology within International Relations theory, the two time periods under review, and how constructivism may be suited better to understand U.S.-Israeli relations. |
