Analyze the following statements that deal with the points of divergence between constructivism and realist theory:
I. The realist characterization of the State as a monolithic agent universally oriented by self-interest and the guarantee of its own survival is rejected by constructivist authors. II. Constructivism takes a critical position towards the realist conception that world politics and domestic policies of States can be framed as a continuum of action without a clear dividing boundary. III. The analytical privilege granted by realists to the material aspects of international reality is criticized by constructivists, as the understanding of the relationships between social actors also involves economic constraints. IV. The realist understanding that anarchy is a natural and permanent condition of the international system is denied by constructivists, who understand that the interests and identities of States can change and, as a consequence, promote changes in the structure. a) Statements I and II are true. b) Statements II and III are true. c) Statements I, II, and III are true. d) Statements II, III, and IV are true.
