In this chapter I have tried to capture the global historical, intellectual, and disciplinary forces that made Constructivism a particularly way for thinking politics. It invites students to imagine the continuities and transformations of international politics. It looks into why the world is organized in the way it is, consider the different factors that shape the durable forms of world politic, and seek alternative worlds. In doing so, it challenges the received wisdoms and opens up new lines of enquiry. Although many in the discipline treated as strange the claim that ideas can shape hoe the world works, in fact what is strange is a view of a world devoid of ideas. After all, is it even possible to imagine such a world? What would it look like? Is it even possible to imagine a world driven only by materialist forces? What would it look like?
