Structures, being constraining and enabling, do not determine action, but they define the framework within wich agents can choose alternative strategies. Enabling features may favour some agents over others in a particular structural setting. In short, agency is located in structure, but not determined by it. Structure may also be transformed by agency over time.

Second, Wendt’s ‘structural-historical’ analysis, in line with an analytical dualist approach, engages with both structure and agency at different time intervals. ]]> 2021-04-21 08:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/madelainemoore/izje04639r7u5cw0/wish/1441680840 Three macro-level structures https://padlet.com/madelainemoore/izje04639r7u5cw0/wish/1441682203 1.
