System Society and the World: Exploring the English School of International Relations (E-IR Edited Collections)

Since its reorganisation in the early 1990s the English School of international relations has emerged as a popular theoretical lens through which to examine global events. Those who use the international society approach promote it as a middle way of theorising due to its ability to incorporate features from both systemic and domestic perspectives into one coherent lens. Succinctly the English School or society of states approach of IR is a threefold method to understanding how the world operates. In its original articulations the English School was designed to incorporate the two major theories that were trying to explain international outcomes - namely realism and liberalism. This second edition brings together some of the most important voices on the English School including new chapters and insights from key English School scholars to highlight the multifaceted nature of the Schools applications in international relations.Since its reorganisation in the early 1990s the English School of international relations has emerged as a popular theoretical lens through which to examine global events.
