Abstract:
Hedley Bull was one of the most important figures in the academic study of international relations. His distinctive approach revolved around one simple but powerful idea: that sovereign states form among themselves a society and that this society must be understood on its own terms. This collection brings together Bull's most important work on this question. It includes a comprehensive introduction, which examines Bull's conception of international society, its relationship to contemporary theories of world politics, and its relevance to this post-Cold War world.
