- THEORY
- THE ENGLISH SCHOOL
- international society which despite the
condition of anarchy, remains a society of
states with common interests, which leads
to the establishment of international rules
- International system (realism/neo-realism): power politics amongst nation-states (structure and process of
international anarchy at centre/ national priority): does not seem to work. (Hobbes); International society
(rationalism/constructivism): institutionalisation of shared interests and identity amongst states (shared
norms, rules and institutions at centre/ international priority) – too narrow. (Grotius); World society
(revolutionism/liberalism): individuals, non-state organisations and the global population is the focus of
global societal identities (transcendence of the state system at centre/ humanitarian priority) – cultural
perspective. (Kant) Links the English School to both globalisation debates and EU debates.
- Problems of World Society: Isomorphism: instead of diversity of political units, there is significant evidence
of homogeneity. Rational actorhood: the state is not only rational, but also nice. Decoupling: nation-states
are supposed to be tightly coupled structures; in reality, there is contradiction between commitments and
policies. Expansive structuration: exogenous models not rooted in local circumstance lead to irrational
development.

conventional Westphalian system of states. This manifests itself in many forms ranging from informal
governmental ties to multinational corporations and organizations
