Global International Society : A New Framework for Analysis EPUB
by Barry Buzan, Laust Schouenborg
EPUB
Description
This ambitious book provides a new framework for analysing global international society (GIS).
In doing so, it also links the English School's approach more closely to classical sociology, constructivism, liberal institutionalism, realism and postcolonialism.
It retells the expansion of international society story to explain why the differences among states are as important as their similarities in understanding the structure and dynamics of contemporary GIS.
Drawing on differentiation theory, it sets out four ideal-type models for international society.
These cover the 'like units' of the classical English School, as well as differentiation by geography, hierarchy/privilege, and function.
These models offer a systematic way to integrate international and world society, and to understand the relationship between the deep structure of primary institutions, and the vast array of intergovernmental and international non-governmental organisations.
In this pioneering book, Buzan and Schouenborg present the reader with the first systematic attempt to define criteria for assessing whether international society is becoming stronger or weaker.
