Opis

One of the great scholars of International Relations, Hedley Bull worked within a tradition of political thought which derives from Hobbes, Hume, Grotius, and the natural lawyers. Bull not only added to this tradition, but he also demonstrated how it could become a foundation for the study of International Relations. In this book, leading scholars offer essays on each of the major aspects of his thought. The authors explore Bull's central question in International Relations--how order might exist amidst anarchy--in terms of society, order, the Third World, strategy, the contemporary system, and International Relations.

Recenzje

'Festschrifts far too frequently lapse into hagiolatry. That Order and Violence is not going to succumb to this tendency is evident from the opening pages where J.D.B. Miller presents a frank assessment of Hedley Bull as scholar and colleague. The subsequent essays are equally candid in noting the shortcomings in Bull's work: his tendency to oscillate between rationalist and realist perspectives. There is, of course, much compensating discussion of the strengths of Bull's approach and of the enormous impact that he had on the international relations discipline.'
