Analysis of Russia’s Interest in Invading Ukraine Based on Constructivist Perspective
Abstract
This research discusses the Russian invasion of Ukraine using the Constructivist
theory developed by Alexander Wendt. This geopolitical event triggered
international tensions and had broad impacts at the regional and global levels. In
this analysis, focus is given to the historical background, causes, and
consequences of the invasion. The research methodology includes literature
reviews, foreign policy analysis, and political, economic, and humanitarian
impact assessments. The research results show that the Russian invasion of
Ukraine has complex historical roots, involving factors such as political changes
in Ukraine, Russian foreign policy, and ethnic conflicts in the region. These
factors created a context that facilitated conflict, which then spilled over into a
military invasion by Russia. The impact of this invasion has been significant, both
in Ukraine and internationally. Politically, this invasion has triggered changes in
power dynamics in Eastern Europe and raised tensions between Russia and
Western countries. Economically, international sanctions against Russia have had
an impact on the economies of both parties. Additionally, humanitarian aspects,
such as displacement and human rights violations, have also been the focus of
attention in the context of this conflict. This research contributes to further
understanding of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and its awareness of regional
stability and international security. Policy implications and recommendations for
dealing with this conflict are also presented as part of the conclusion of this study.
