Keeping history, law and political philosophy firmly within the English School

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  14 August 2001

Abstract

I support Buzan's call for a reconsideration of the English School as an important approach to International Relations. The challenge is to avoid introspection and scholasticism (is it a school? who belongs? what are the core articles of faith?) and instead to use the intellectual apparatus provided by English School ideas to raise interesting questions, identify intellectually important puzzles, and to help structure answers to real moral and political dilemmas. In this comment I would like to raise five issues.
