Vincent 161 Conclusion 181 Bibliography 193 Index 203 Vll Acknowledgements In the course of writing this book, I have had a considerable amount of support from family, friends, and academic colleagues. The first and most lasting intellectual debt is to my mentor Steve Smith, who along with the late Martin Hollis, introduced me to the world of ideas at the University of East Anglia in the late 1980s. After completing my undergraduate degree, it was Steve who encouraged me to take up a postgraduate place at Oxford. Throughout the four years as an ESRC funded M.Phil and a D.Phil student, I benefited greatly from Andrew Hurrell's guidance and his excellent judgement. The decision by the British International Studies Assocation to award my D.Phil thesis 'International Relations Theory in Britain: The Invention of an International Society Tradition' the prize in 1994 in part reflects the first-class supervision Andrew provided. These were intellectually stimulating years. Many of my close friends, such as Geoffrey Wiseman, Marrianne Hansen, Jennifer Welsh, Shu Sun, Ngaire Woods and Iver B. Neumann had been taught by John Vincent, acquiring his sense of fun as well as critical engagement. Although I never met John, I feel he would have appreciated the intel­ lectual journey I embarked upon, particularly in so far as it builds a bridge between two of his foremost influences, E.H. Carr and Hedley Bull. It was John who used to refer to my college, St Antony's, as a 'mini-United Nations', a term no doubt used to capture the hierarchy of the institution as well as its multiculturalism. In the course of the daily round of college life, I developed long-term friendships with people who indirectly contributed to my education in Oxford, in particular David Nickles, Mats Berdal, Richard Hanson, Shelly Leanne and Ana Covarrubias. One such bond was severed tragically when Holly Wyatt­ Walter died in 1996. Other members of the Inter-national Relations com­ munity in Oxford provided encouragement and personal support; here I have in mind Geoffrey Martin Ceadel Best, Rosemary Foot, Alex Pravda (the then St Antony's Series General editor), Adam Roberts, A vi Shlaim and Andrew Walter. One week after submitting the D.Phil thesis, I moved to Aberystwyth to take up a lectureship in international politics. I realised at the time that I was coming to a Department with a famous past; four years on, I have a strong conviction that our Department has an even better future. The prin­ cipal reason for the energy and creativity in the Department is, of course, viii Acknowledgements IX the leadership of Steve Smith. Ten years after first hearing him lecture, he continues to inspire as a teacher, writer and friend. Standing alongside Steve on the bridge of the ship called Interpol has been Ken Booth. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to listen to Ken's critical voice draw from his stock of sound-bites, and since the early part of 1997, to work with him and our 'big ed' Michael Cox on the Review of International Studies. Like all good teams, the Department of International Politics is about more than the reputations of its star. At the other end of the corridor from the professorial suites there is a wealth of knowledge about the subject and a strong measure of good humour to be found in the busy offices of colleagues and research students. One friend and colleague in particular, Nick Wheeler, has had a profound impact on my thinking on the subject. I have been a constant borrower from his thinking on a whole range of ideas, from human rights to normative International Relations theory in general. His intellectual generosity has extended as far as reading the entire manuscript (some chapters more than once); in a phrase which he will instantly recognise, his 'influence' can be found 'on every page of it'. In addition, Nick encouraged me to draw directly from previously pub­ lished co-authored material in Chapter 7. The interpretation of Hedley Bull presented here is very much the result of a shared interest in and commitment to one of the great scholars of modern International Relations. Outside of Aberystwyth, I have received support for this project from a variety of sources. Within academic International Relations, I would like to acknowledge the advice of Michael Donelan, James Mayall, Cornelia Navari, Stephanie Lawson, Richard Little, Robert Jackson, Nicholas Rengger, James Richardson, Hidemi Suganarni, and Peter Wilson. I have been inspired by the words - written and spoken - of four other scholars in the field who have in different ways brought critical insights to bear on the English School; here I have in mind Chris Brown, Andrew Hurrell (who has provided critical feedback on Chapters 1, 7 and 8), Roger Epp (who read draft chapters and helped me in particular with the Christian realism of Wight and Butterfield) and Andrew Linklater (apart from providing helpful comments on earlier drafts of Chapters 1 and 2, he has more than anyone inspired mine and Nick's attempt to bridge the English School with critical international theory). Given that the book draws from a range of unpublished papers and cor­ respondence, I would like to thank the following individuals and institu­ tions for their help: Mary Bull for allowing me to quote from the Hedley X Acknowledgements Bull papers; the University of Cambridge Library for access to Herbert Butterfield's papers, and Peter Butterfield for his permission to copy them; the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, for access to their archives in regard to E.H. Carr's years as the Woodrow Wilson Professor; Kenneth W. Thompson for granting permission to quote from his correspondence with Butterfield in regard to the origins of the British Committee; the Royal Institute of International Affairs library for access to their collection of British Committee papers; Adam Watson for permission to quote from his correspondence with Wight and Bull regarding the leadership of the group after Butterfield had passed on the responsibility; and Gabriele Wight for allowing me to draw upon Martin Wight's correspondence. These rather formal acknowledgements disguise how indebted I am to those closest to the main characters in the book for their anecdotes and advice. Here I have in mind lengthy conversations with Carsten Holbraad, Brian Porter, Adam Watson, and especially Mary Bull, Angela Vincent and Gabriele Wight. In the final few months, the burden of completing the manuscript has been eased by the technical expertise of Elaine Lowe, and by Rob Dixon, who helped to compile the bibliography and index. It only remains for me to acknowledge my immediate and extended family for the support they have given in more ways than I could possibly mention. Thank you to Alan, Elizabeth, Andrea, George, Malcolm, Christiane, Eileen, and Caroline, thank you for being you and for being with me. TIM DUNNE Aberystwyth Introduction There is more to international relations than the realist suggests but less than the cosmopolitan desires. 1 Andrew Linklater E.H. Carr's explanation for the failure of 'utopianism' in his magnificent work The Twenty Years' Crisis is often regarded as the first real analysis of International Relations since its inception as a formal academic discipline.

  • The Problem of Harm in World Politics: Implications for the Sociology of States-Systems
    The problem of harm in world politics: implications for the sociology of states-systems ANDREW LINKLATER* In the 1960s Martin Wight and his colleagues on the British Committee on the Theory of International Politics wrote several papers on the great states-systems, including the ancient Greek and Chinese systems, medieval international society and the modern international order. A book on the sociology of states- systems was anticipated—a successor to Butterfield and Wight’s Diplomatic investigations—but the project was not completed.1 It would have been the first volume of its kind in international relations and its impact on the discipline would have been immense in a period in which several major works on historical sociology were published by leading sociologists.2 In more recent times, students of international relations have called for large-scale historical– º sociological accounts of world politics, and several works have demonstrated what the field can contribute to the broader project of historical sociology.3 As a result, the ‘sociology of states-systems’ now occupies a more central place in the study of international relations than it has at any other time. From that ‘first period’, Martin Wight’s System of states stands out as the central work which did most to set out a grand vision of the comparative sociological analysis of states-systems. On the twenty-fifth anniversary of its * This article is based on the Martin Wight Memorial Lecture delivered at the London School of Economics in November 2001. The author is grateful to Ian Clark, Tim Dunne, Hidemi Suganami and Nicholas Wheeler for their comments on an earlier draft.

In its first phase, which is normally dated from about 1959 to 1984,[i] the scholars who came to be labelled the early English School (ES), including Hedley Bull, Herbert Butterfield and Martin Wight, did not devote much effort to spelling out their preferred approach to international relations, let alone a research method. To make matters worse, the style and focus of their works varied, making it harder to distil an approach or method than it sometimes is when dealing with other schools of thought in International Relations (IR).[ii] But there are similarities in the essays and books produced by the early ES, and there were common commitments, and this chapter tries to tease them out. In general, the early ES took an ‘interpretive’ approach that concentrated on the beliefs of individual actors in international relations, assuming that explaining and evaluating their actions depends on interpreting the meaning they had for the actors who performed them.[iii] This approach entailed, as Herbert Butterfield and Martin Wight wrote in the preface to Diplomatic Investigations, a focus on ‘the diplomatic community’, which they – in contrast to some later ES thinkers – took to be synonymous with ‘international society’ and ‘the states-system’.[iv] Butterfield, Wight, et al.

Sir Herbert Butterfield, Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge (1955–68), Regius Professor of History (1963–68), and author of The Whig Interpretation of History (1931), was one of the leading historians of the twentieth century. A diplomatic historian and student of modern historiography, Butterfield was deeply concerned too with contemporary inter- national relations, wrote much on the subject and, in 1958, created the ‘British Committee on the Theory of International Politics’.

  • Introduction 1 the West, Civilizations and International Relations Theory
    Notes Introduction 1. The thesis in Huntington’s original 1993 essay in Foreign Affairs was elaborated upon most fully in his 1996 book The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. 2. The term ‘International Relations’ in capitals will be used to refer to the academic discipline, whereas the term ‘international relations’ in lower case will be used to refer more generally to the realm of world politics. 3. See, for instance, Deudney and Ikenberry (1993/94), Fukuyama (1989) and Mahbubani (1992) and their respondents, and more recently Coker (1998), Gress (1997), and McNeill (1997a). 4. See Walker (1984a) for a discussion of universalist and pluralist dialectic in dis- cussions of culture and world politics. See also Eagleton (2000) and Parekh (2000). For discussions of the evolution of civilization as a concept, see Braudel (1980), Elias (1978), Febvre, (1973), Robinson (1969), Springborg (1993) and Williams (1983). 5. See, for example, Brown (1992; 1995; 2000), Cochrane (1999) Linklater (1998) and Morrice (2000). 6. There is one further sense in which the West appears in the OED definitions, the ‘wild West’ as in the United States. Interestingly, used in this sense, the West is represented as a territory lacking in order and civilization. Note also Springborg’s observation that in Arabic, the term the West – Gharb – also connotes darkness, the incomprehensible, a frightening place (Springborg, 1994). 7. See Gress (1997) for a discussion of contending traditions that contribute to the civilizational identity of the West. 1 The West, civilizations and International Relations theory 1. Although Gilpin does demonstrate some concern for a possible revolt against the hegemony of Western values resulting in a return to a pre-modern clash of civilization in world politics (Gilpin, 1979: 225).

  • Re-Conceptualizing Orders in the Mena Region the Analytical Framework of the Menara Project
    No. 1, November 2016 METHODOLOGY AND CONCEPT PAPERS RE-CONCEPTUALIZING ORDERS IN THE MENA REGION THE ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE MENARA PROJECT Edited by Eduard Soler i Lecha (coordinator), Silvia Colombo, Lorenzo Kamel and Jordi Quero This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under grant agreement No 693244 Middle East and North Africa Regional Architecture: Mapping Geopolitical Shifts, Regional Order and Domestic Transformations METHODOLOGY AND CONCEPT PAPERS No. 1, November 2016 RE-CONCEPTUALIZING ORDERS IN THE MENA REGION THE ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE MENARA PROJECT Edited by Eduard Soler i Lecha (coordinator), Silvia Colombo, Lorenzo Kamel and Jordi Quero ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to set the conceptual architecture for the MENARA Project. It is articulated in five thematic sections. The first one traces back the major historical junctures in which key powers shaped the defining features of the present-day MENA region. Section 2 sets the geographical scope of the project, maps the distribution of power and defines regional order and its main features. Section 3 focuses on the domestic orders in a changing region by gauging and tracing the evolution of four trends, namely the erosion of state capacity; the securitization of regime policies; the militarization of contention; and the pluralization of collective identities. Section 4 links developments in the global order to their impact on the region in terms of power, ideas, norms and identities. The last section focuses on foresight studies and proposes a methodology to project trends and build scenarios. All sections, as well as the conclusion, formulate specific research questions that should help us understand the emerging geopolitical order in the MENA.

  • Juridical Investigations: Martin Wight As International Lawyer
    chapter 21 Juridical Investigations: Martin Wight as International Lawyer Gerry Simpson* It may seem odd to include a political theorist – and one with no legal training – in a collection of works about significant British international lawyers of the twentieth century. It is, perhaps, even odder to include someone who pub- lished so little work and whose fame as a scholar of international relations (ir) was eclipsed by his pupil, Hedley Bull, as well as by a generation of influ- ential American political realists (e.g. Morgenthau, Niebuhr and Hoffman).1 Yet Wight’s sardonic style and lightly-worn, but deeply felt, historical learning speaks very directly to us as international lawyers reflecting back on a century of professional work in the uk. His preoccupations, such as empire, lawful di- plomacy, enemies of mankind, theoretical tradition, Eurocentrism, interven- tion and ethics, are also ours. Wight’s political theory seems so much more congenial to international law than much of ir scholarship today (though there are important exceptions). One can imagine him as a grand old man de- livering (to a mixed reception) a keynote address at a Third World Approaches to International Law conference in Cairo or engaging in spirited conversation with Philip Allott at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (biicl) or Chatham House. In this era of the turn to history and the turn to theory, Wight would have flourished, too, as an honorary international lawyer. His historical range, cou- pled with a breadth of references drawn from diplomatic practice, would have left him well placed to enter into dialogue with those who are recasting the * Professor of International Law, London School of Economics.

  • The Evolution of International Society: a Comparative Historical Analysis/Adam Watson
    THE EVOLUTION OF INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY This uniquely comprehensive historical study analyses and explains how international societies function. After examining the ancient states systems, the author looks in more detail at the European society of states and at our worldwide contemporary society, which grew out of it. The book demonstrates that relations between states are not normally anarchies, but organized international or supernational societies regulated by elaborate rules and practices, which derive substantially from experience. Our present international society, for all its individuality, is the latest in the series. The Evolution of International Society is a major contribution to international theory, and to our understanding of how relations between states operate. Current interest in international order and the hegemonial authority, and the renewed concern with history in political science, make this a timely book. ‘A stunning success. Watson’s book is a masterful piece of theoretical and historical analysis.’ John A.Vasquez, Rutgers University Adam Watson has been a British Ambassador and Assistant Under-Secretary of State, Chairman of the British Committee for the Theory of International Politics and, since 1978, Professor of International Relations at the University of Virginia.

  • The English School on Diplomacy
    DISCUSSION PAPERS IN DIPLOMACY The English School on Diplomacy Iver B. Neumann Netherlands Institute of International Relations ‘Clingendael’ ISSN 1569-2981 DISCUSSION PAPERS IN DIPLOMACY Editor: Spencer Mawby, University of Leicester Managing Editor: Jan Melissen, Netherlands Institute of International Relations ‘Clingendael’ Desk top publishing: Birgit Leiteritz Editorial Board Karin Aggestam, Lund University Geoff Berridge, University of Leicester Erik Goldstein, Boston University Donna Lee, University of Nottingham Paul Sharp, University of Minnesota, Duluth ABSTRACT Dominant schools of International Relations theorising such as neo-realism and neo- liberalism have bracketed the study of diplomacy in favour of abstract studies of the states system and the functioning of specific institutions such as the UN. Among the discipline’s research programmes, the English School specifically lists diplomacy as one of five broad institutions which constitute its chosen subject matter. This Discussion Paper details the School’s findings and concludes that interest in the subject appears to be declining. Two fairly recent studies by Der Derian and Reus- Smit, which are written at the margins of the school, seem to point the way forward by crossing key School insights and historical findings with more overriding general concerns in the social sciences. Diplomacy should be studied concretely, as a specific practice which is carried out by human beings acting inside a web of historically emergent norms and organisations. Inasmuch as these norms and organisations seem to be changing, so does diplomacy. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Iver B. Neumann, D.Phil. ([email protected]) is on leave from his job as research professor at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs to work as a policy planner in the Norwegian Ministry of International Affairs.
