  This volume draws together accessible and sharp essays from established and rising stars in the field reflecting upon their use of methods, and how those methods relate to their training within, or familiarity with, Constructivism in International Relations.

  Contributors `express' the role of interpretive methods in their own work and what this might say about today's uses of Constructivism. How might a `consistent Constructivism' influence the practice and development of methods? Further, what are methods, and might they be considered as `tactics' towards further ends or strategies, or the ends of theorizing itself? Gathering a variety of voices that approach interpretive methods in diverse ways, Tactical Constructivism includes a vibrant cross-section of contributors, who express how their interpretive methods have been conditioned generationally, spatially (both within and outside of the US academy), and topically.

  This exciting volume concludes with a `dialogue' roundtable between constructivist scholars Patrick Jackson, Cecelia Lynch, and Nicholas Onuf, and will be of interest not only to students of methods and theory in international relations and global politics, but also more established scholars.
