| Summary / Abstract (Note) | With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the study of IR went through a deep theoretical reconceptualization of its objectives, ethics, and raison d’être as a discipline. New popular and provocative perspectives, like Fukuyama’s vision of a Liberal world devoid of any ideological struggle, or Huntington’s view of a bleak global future of intractable cultural conflict, all epitomized the growing need for new theoretical lenses with which to tackle the complexity of the emerging international order at the time. The English School (ES), born in the fulcrum of the Cold War, yet profoundly marked by a rather traditional ‘European’ perspective on world affairs, saw an important reinvigoration in the early 1990s. Since then, the so-called ‘reconvening’ of the ES has helped establish the international society approach as one of the main theoretical perspectives in contemporary world politics. Despite its many accomplishments in resuscitating global-order concerns and historico-sociological agendas in IR, however, there are important areas which have remained unattended. |
