『至潔老師的「進階國際關係理論」是一堂相當有深度的一堂課，在有一定的國際關係理論基礎後，閱讀文獻從理性主義至建構主義的漸進式探討，每週則會有一位同學負責主要帶領當週文獻的討論。如同，課名中的「進階」二字，將可以更深入的認識國際關係建構主義理論中的見解，雖然相當的哲學，但透過課堂上的討論，還是可以有不錯的收穫。
期末報告為一篇理論性文章，與實證論文有著很大的不同，但會是一個學術訓練上必經的過程。』

1. Critique of rationalism and positivism in IR.
2. Identity- & norm-based Constructivisms in IR.
3. Institution- & culture-based Constructivisms in IR.
4. Critical IR theories.

In this advanced IR theory course we revisit and critically examine the political and intellectual contexts that gave rise to Constructivist International Relations Theories. On top of that, we discuss various schools of Constructivist IR theories and their empirical applications in case studies. We address critical IR theories in Security Studies and International Political Economy. Apart from theories, this graduate seminar expose participants to research methods that are inspired by and hence compatible with epistemic tenets of Constructivisms in IR.
