Conflict game-structures(as a concept in international relations theory): The patterns and rules that determine how countries compete or fight with each other—think of it like the 'rules of the game' that shape international conflict.
Constituted through(as used in philosophy generally): Made up of, formed by, or created by something—in this case, meaning that practices and traditions are what create or define moral identity.
Constructivist IR theory(as a school of thought in international relations): An approach to studying international relations that says the conflicts and cooperation between countries aren't caused by unchangeable facts, but rather are 'constructed' or created through how countries interact and what they believe about each other.
External engagement(as used in international relations): The process of countries interacting with and influencing each other from the outside, rather than acting in isolation.
Wendt(as a key figure in constructivist IR theory): Alexander Wendt is an international relations theorist who argued that how countries behave toward each other isn't determined by fixed rules, but instead is shaped by their interactions and the meanings they give to each other's actions.
