This chapter explores the promise of constructivism as a method of normative political analysis for a pluralistic world in which pressing political challenges routinely outstrip the decision-making capacities of any one country. It examines the promise of constructivism in several contexts, including cases where countries transition toward or away from democratic arrangements, those in East Asia that focus on the concept of performance legitimacy, and instances of social challenges that spill across local, national, and regional boundaries. In each case, the promise of constructivism in politics is explained in terms of a distinct field of normative political analysis.
