The terms ‘conventional’ and ‘critical’ constructivism were coined by Ted Hopf in ‘The Promise of Constructivism in International Relations Theory’, International Security, 23(1), Summer 1998, pp. 171–200. 2. A logic that remains immutable, given the permanency of the systemic nature of international relations. Waltz is therefore able to counter arguments concerning the end of the Cold War and the accompanying transformations of the nature of world politics (and thus an end to the relevance of neo-Realism) by asserting the argument that the end of the Cold War served as an internal, rather than a structural, transformation, and thus the key tenets of Realism which flow logically from structural claims remain relevant to the post-Cold War era (particularly given the existence of nuclear weapons which determine a permanent logic of self-help). See Waltz, K., ‘Structural Realism after the Cold War’, International Security, 25(1), 2000, pp. 5–41 3.
