| Summary/Abstract |
The thought of the English School, and especially of Hedley Bull, on whose work this essay focuses, has often been regarded as somewhat conservative. Bull famously prioritised order over justice, offered a state-centric analysis of world politics focusing on ‘international society’, and favoured a ‘classical’ approach within IR theory (see Bull 1966; 2002); this reflected his underlying ‘middle-ground ethics’ (Cochran 2009).
