Alexander Wendt is a prominent political scientist and scholar of international relations. He is considered a leading social constructivist and helped establish constructivism as a major theory in the field. Wendt received his PhD from the University of Minnesota and has taught at several top universities. His most influential work, the 1999 book Social Theory of International Politics, builds on his earlier work on how states socially construct power and politics in the international system in response to Kenneth Waltz's neorealist theory. Wendt is currently working on projects arguing for an inevitable world state and exploring implications of quantum mechanics for social science.
