Concise Title: The Anarchical Society: A Study of World Politics Order
In this classic work, Hedley Bull delves into three fundamental questions regarding the nature of order in world politics, its maintenance within the contemporary states system, and the existence of desirable and feasible alternatives to the states system. Contrary to common claims, Bull asserts that the sovereign states system is not in decline, but rather persists and thrives, as it is essential to maintaining an international world order.
More than three decades after its publication, Bull's seminal text continues to define and direct research in international relations. In this thirty-fifth anniversary edition, the text has been updated and includes a new interpretive foreword by the world's leading expert on Bull and his contributions to the theory, structures, and practices of world politics.
The Anarchical Society identifies and confronts the unwritten rules supporting the international order across history, despite sweeping changes in laws and institutions. It considers and rejects the idea that the states system is giving way to an alternative world government or some method of neo-medieval rule, or that the states system has ceased to be viable or compatible with objectives such as peace, economic justice, and ecological control. Bull also reviews and comments upon a variety of proposals for states system reform.
The text's exploration of the fundamental questions surrounding the nature and maintenance of order in world politics remains highly relevant in the contemporary global landscape. Bull's work challenges the prevalent notion of the states system's decline, asserting its continued relevance and importance in upholding international order. The updated edition, with the new interpretive foreword, further cements the book's status as a classic in the field of international relations.
The Anarchical Society's enduring significance lies in its ability to confront the complex realities of world politics, acknowledging the unwritten rules and structures that underpin the international order, while also considering potential alternatives and reforms to the states system. Bull's masterful analysis continues to shape and inform the scholarly discourse on global governance and the future of world politics.
