Hedley Bull, Montague Burton Professor of International Relations
at Oxford from 1977 until his death in 1985, was one of the great
scholars of his generation. He wrote within a tradition of
political thought which he himself traced back to Hobbes and Hume
and to Grotius and the natural lawyers. He not only added to the
literature in this tradition, but he also showed how it could
become a foundation for the study of International Relations. In
this book, leading scholars attempt to come to terms with his
contribution to the subject by offering essays on each of the major
aspects of his thought. The central political question in
International Relations is how order might exist amidst anarchy.
This was the question which Hedley Bull took as his starting-point
for thought, and he returned to it throughout his career, notably
in his major work, The Anarchical Society. The exploration of this
question is the central theme in the present volume, and each of
the authors take it as a point of departure and examine it from a
different point of view - such as society, order, the Third World,
strategy, and the contemporary system, and of professing the
subject of International Relations. The return to fundamentals
involved in this enterprise will make this volume an important and
valuable work. The contributors are: J. D. B. Miller, Stanley
Hoffman, R. J. Vincent, T. B. Millar, Robert Gilpin Jr., James
Richardson, and Carsten Holbraad.
