Question: Does identity matter in international politics? Answer with reference to two IR theories, at least one of which must be a critical theory.
I need a detailed intro paragraph highlighting constructivism and marxism similarities and differences in relation to this question? So what do they both argue that is similar about identity mattering in international politics vs how do they differ?
