Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Puzzled by increasing disagreements about security policy among formerly close (Western) allies, this paper revisits the meaning of survival in International Relations. It explores how traditional (realist) and more recent (constructivist) approaches conceptualize notions of reference object and threat. The first part shows how the realist preoccupation with military power has largely overshadowed the more fundamental question of survival. At the same time, the section suggests (classical) realism provides an important analytical hook by pointing towards the importance of prestige, or status, as a central concern of states. This insight is taken up and explored further in the second part, which engages the question from a social constructivist perspective. Examining the dynamics around the states’ desire for a stable identity, the meaning of survival is explored in the context of (i) ideas of order designating Selfhood and Otherness, and (ii) the negotiation of status between individual and collective dimensions of identity.
