Title: Engleska kola medunarodnih odnosa
1Engleska kola medunarodnih odnosa
2- The English School is so named because of its
major figures, although often not English, worked
in England (in particular at the London School of
Economics and at Oxford and Cambridge) during its
formative years.
3- It is best defined as group of scholars most
notably Martin Wight, Hedley Bull, Adam Watson,
R. J. Vincent, James Mayall, Robert Jackson, and
more recently Tim Dunne and N. J. Wheeler whose
work focuses on the notion of a society of
states or international society.
4Origins and definitions of International Society
- Key points
- International society is an association of member
states who not only interact across international
borders but also share common purposes,
organizations, and standards of conduct. - There are different historical versions of
international society the most important of which
is the contemporary global international society.
5Origins and definitions of International Society
- Political independence is the core value of
international society. - In understanding international society it is
important to keep in mind contrasting group
relations, such as empires, which are far more
common historically. Some argue that the concept
of international society is not incompatible with
forms of imperial power, understood as
hierarchical relations between states in the
global North and South.
6Ancient Greece and Renaissance Italy
- Two forerunner international societies were
ancient Greece and Renaissance Italy. - Two empires that contrasted with these
international societies and also served as a
historical bridge between them were the Roman
Empire and its direct Christian successor in the
West, the medieval Respublica Christiana. - Greek international society was based on the
polis and Hellenic culture.
7Ancient Greece and Renaissance Italy
- Italian international society was based on the
stato and the strong urban identities and
rivalries of Renaissance Italians. - These small international societies were
eventually overwhelmed by neighbouring hegemonic
powers.
8European international society
- Key points
- The Peace of Westphalia was the first explicit
expression of a European society of states, which
served as a precedent for all subsequent
developments of international society. - That international society displaced and
succeeded the medieval Respublica Christiana. - It was the external aspect of the development of
modern secular states that had to find an orderly
and legitimate way to conduct mutual relations
without submitting to either superior authority
or hegemonic domination from abroad.
9European international society
- It was the first completely explicit
international society, even though it was
centered in Europe, with its own diplomatic
institutions, formal body of law, and enunciated
practices of prudential statecraft, including the
balance of power.
10The globalization of international society
- Through their rivalries and wars European states
developed the military organization and
technology to project their power on a global
scale and few non-European political systems
could block their expansion. - European international law, diplomacy, and the
balance of power came to be applied around the
world.
11The globalization of international society
- Indigenous non-Western nationalists eventually
went into revolt and claimed a right of
self-determination which led to decolonization
and the expansion of international society. - That was followed by a further expansion after
the Cold War brought about by the disintegration
of the Soviet Union and several other communist
states.
12The globalization of international society
- During the 1990s, for the first time in history,
there was one inclusive international society of
global extent. - Whether this model of international society can
endure under US hegemony is the subject of some
dispute.
13Problems of global international society
- Today international society is usually conceived
as a global social framework of shared norms and
values based on state sovereignty. - An important manifestation of that social
framework is the UN Charter. - But those shared norms and values have provoked
unprecedented problems and predicaments of
contemporary world politics.
14Problems of global international society
- There is a current debate about the future of
state sovereignty and thus also about the future
of the contemporary global international society.
15- The term International Society conveys two
points, both of which are examined at length in
the masterwork of the School, Hedley Bulls The
Anarchical Society A Study of Order in World
Politics, (1977)
16- First, the focus of study should be primarily on
the world of states and not on sub-state entities
or universal categories such as humanity
Second, states when they interact do not simply
form an international system, a non-normative
pattern of regularities, rather they form a
society, a norm governed relationship whose
members accept thet they have at least limited
responsibilities towards one another and to the
society as a whole.
17- These responsibilities are summarized in the
traditional practices of international law and
diplomacy. - States are assumed to pursue their interests in
the international arena, but not at all costs
or, rather if they do pursue them at all costs
international society will be in danger.
18Hedley Bull
- The Anarchical Society A Study of Order in
World Politics, 1977
19- The Anarchical Society is widely recognised today
as a classic of the literature on international
relations on account not only of its content but
also its lucid and crisp prose. It is also seen
as the most masterful work in what is called the
British school of international relations, or the
British approach to international relations (with
his dislike of pomposity, Bull would have shied
away from the word school'). This approach
derives its originality from its view of
international relations as a complex set of
relations among states that form an international
society, and not simply a system of states'.
20- Indeed, when he examines the interaction among
states, Bull is interested in things other than
the relations of power common concerns, rules
and institutions. This allows him to examine wars
not only as the frequent outcomes of power
clashes, but also as possible instruments of
order, aimed at curbing the ambitions and
excesses of trouble-makers after all, limited
wars were a tool for the balancing of power. It
also allows him to examine patterns of order that
are neither the balance of power nor war
diplomacy and international law.
21- The scope of international society (as compared
with transnational society) depends on the ratio
of free enterprise versus government regulation
within the units' political systems. The
intensity or depth of international society
depends on how much the units have in common. The
substance or content of international society
depends on the dominant ideas, ideologies or
cultures.
22- This approach has two great merits. It
reintroduces into the study of the international
system three factors left out by Waltz's own
reductionism transnational ideas, which can
generate common norms and interests,
international institutions, and interdependence
(how states perform' self-help co-operatively,
unilaterally, or conflictually, depends to a
considerable extent on their degree of
interdependence). Also, it draws our attention to
the relationship between the interactions among
states on the one hand, and their nature and
their own institutions on the other. In other
words, it looks not merely at the distribution of
power among the units, but also at the units
themselves. (Stanley Hoffmann)
23- This book is an inquiry into the nature of order
in world politics, and in particular into the
society of sovereign states, through which such
order as exists in world politics is now
maintained. I have sought answers to three basic
questions - (i) What is order in world politics?
- (ii) How is order maintained within the present
system o sovereign states? - (iii) Does the system of sovereign states still
provide a viable path to world order?
24- It will be helpful if, at the outset, I indicate
the basic elements in my approach to this
subject. First, I am concerned in this book not
with the whole of world politics but with one
element in it order. Sometimes when we speak of
world order (or of the world order) what we have
in mind is the totality of relationships among
states, the international political system as a
whole. Here, by contrast, I am thinking of order
as a quality that may or may not obtain i
international politics at any one time or place,
or that may b present to a greater or lesser
degree order as opposed to disorder.

26The Concept of Order in World Politics
27- By Order in Social Life I mean a pattern of human
activity that sustains elementary, primary or
universal goals of social life such as these. - Three basic values of all social life First, all
societies seek to ensure that life will be in
some measure secure against violence resulting in
death or bodily harm. Second, all societies seek
to ensure that promises once made, will be kept,
or that agreements, once undertaken, will be
carried out. Third, all societies pursue the goal
of ensuring that the possession of things will
remain stable to some degree, and will not be
subject to challenges that are constant and
without limit
28International Order
- By International Order I mean a pattern of
activity that sustains the elementary or primary
goals of society of states, or international
society.
29- The starting point of international relations is
the existence of states, or independent political
communities each of which possesses a government
and asserts sovereignty in relation to a
particular portion of of the earths surface and
a particular segment of the human population.
30- A System of states (or international system) is
formed when two or more states have sufficient
contact between them, and have sufficient impact
on one anothers decisions, to cause them to
behave at least in some measure as a parts of a
whole.
31- A Society of states (or international society)
exists when a group of states, conscious of
certain common interests and common values, form
a society in the sense that they conceive
themselves to be bound by a common set of rules
in their relations with one another, and share in
the working of common institutions
32- An international society in this sense
presupposes an international system, but an
international system may exist that is not an
international society.
33Goals of the society of states
- The Goal of Preservation of the system and
society of states itself. - The Goal of maintaining the independence or
external sovereignty of individual states. - The goal of Peace
- The Goals of all social life
34World Order
- By World Order I mean those patterns or
dispositions of human activity that sustain the
elementary or primary goals of social life among
mankind as a whole. International Order is order
among among states but states are simply
groupings of men, and men may be grouped in such
a way that they do not form states at all.
35- World Order is more fundamental and primordial
than international order because the ultimate
units of the great society of all mankind are not
states (or nations, tribes, empires, classes or
parties) but individual human beings, which are
permanent and indestructible in a sense in which
groupings of them of this or that sort are not. - World Order, finally, is morally prior to
international order.
36Does Order exist in World Politics
37- Christian International Society
- European International Society
- In the twentieth century international society
ceased to be regarded as specifically European
and came to be considered as global or world
wide.
38The Anarchical Society
- The argument, then, that because men cannot form
a society without government, sovereign prince or
states cannot, breaks down, not only because some
degree of order can in fact be achieved among
individuals in the absence of government, but
also because states are unlike individuals, and
are more capable of forming an anarchical
society.
39How is Order maintained in World Politics
- Within International Society order is the
consequence of a sense of common interests in
the elementary goals of social life rules
prescribing behavior that sustains these goals
and institutions that help to make these rules
effective.
40Rules
- Complex of rules that states what may be called
the fundamental or constitutional normative
principle of world politics in the present era.
(idea of states as opposed to ideas such is
universal empire) - The Rules of coexistence for example the rules
which restrict the place of violence in world
politics - Complex of rules that regulate cooperation among
states
41Institutions
- It is states themselves that are the principal
institutions of the society of states.

43The Balance of Power and International Order
- What is the Balance of Power?

present?

- What is international law, and what bearing does
it have on international behavior? - What is the role of international law in relation
to international order? - What is the role international law in relation to
international order in the special circumstances

- What is diplomacy?
- How does diplomacy contribute to international
order? - What is the relevance of diplomacy to
international order at present?
46- Communication

School Theory and the Social Structure of
Globalization
50- The concept 'institutions' is widely used in the
IR literature especially by liberals,
constructivists, and the English school. There is
general acceptance of a distinction between
institutions that represent fundamental
underlying norms, and are more evolved than
designed, such as sovereignty, diplomacy and
international law and those that are relatively
specific, concrete, and usually designed (mainly
intergovernmental organizations and regimes). I
label these primary and secondary institutions.
51- Primary institutions are of particular importance
to the position of the English school, and it is
mainly within that frame of reference that this
investigation is conducted.
52- The concept of institutions is central to English
school thinking for two reasons first, because
it fleshes out the substantive content
international society and second because the
particular understanding of institutions in
English school thinking is one of the main things
that differentiates it from the mainstream,
rationalist, neo-liberal institutionalist, study
of international regimes. Quite a bit has been
written about the similarities and differences
between the English school approach to
institutions and that of regime theory
53The Concept of Primary Institutions in English
School Literature
- Most English school writers list a relatively
small number that they take to define the essence
of a Westphalian-type international society. It
is worth looking at the English school's
candidates for primary institutions in some
detail.
54- Wight (1979 111) says that 'the institutions of
international society are according to its
nature', which implies that institutions will be
different from one type of international society
to another. This is consistent with his more
historical work (Wight, 1977 29-33, 47-9) in
which he identifies various institutions of
pre-modern international societies including
messengers, conferences and congresses, a
diplomatic language, trade, religious sites and
festivals.
55- Wight (1979 111-12) goes on to enumerate those
of (what from the context is) the international
society of the first half of the twentieth
century, as 'diplomacy, alliances, guarantees,
war and neutrality'. Somewhat inconsistently, he
then says that 'Diplomacy is the institution for
negotiating, Alliances are the institution for
effecting a common interest. Arbitration is an
institution for the settlement of minor
differences between states. War is the
institution for the final settlement of
differences.'
56- Bull's set of five institutions of international
society (diplomacy, international law, the
balance of power, war, and the role of great
powers) occupies the whole central third of his
1977 book, and has nearly iconic status in the
literature.
57- Mayall (2000 149-50) says
- The framework that I have adopted describes the
context of international relations in terms of a
set of institutions - law, diplomacy, the balance
of power etc. - and principles. Some of these -
sovereignty, territorial integrity and
non-intervention - have been around since the
beginning of the modern states-system. Others -
self-determination, non-discrimination, respect
for fundamental human rights etc. - have been
added more recently.

school thinking, and they constitute a vital
research agenda for both the English school and
constructivists. (Barry Buzan)
