2. Theory of Society or Society of Theorists? With Tim Dunne in the English School.

Abstract

This article seeks to evaluate Tim Dunne's book, Inventing International Society: A History of the English School. The book offers a unique and fascinating account of the British Committee on the Theory of International Relations (IR). However, Dunne's book does not amount to a final statement on the origins of the British School. Furthermore, Dunne's attempt to place the English school and the broader rationalist tradition of thought at the center of the current debates of the discipline is hampered by his decision to turn his story of the British Committee into what is at certain points in the text difficult to distinguish from an academic crusade against the IR Department at the London School of Economics.

3. All Along the Watchtower: A Reply to the Critics of Inventing International Society.

Author

Dunne, Tim

Subjects
*CRITICISM, *INTERNATIONAL relations, *INTERNATIONAL cooperation, *HISTORIOGRAPHY, *SOCIAL history
Abstract

The book, Inventing International Society, tried to be both a historiographical account and an inquiry into the ethical possibilities immanent within an international society. In reply to critics of the book, this article aims not primarily to defend every quarter of the book, but to add to the resurgent interest in the identity and contribution of the English School. A question is asked: What is the explanation for the tendency in Inventing International Society to blur the boundaries between the English School and the British Committee? Knudsen and Suganami suggest that the answer can be found to the prior decision to tell the story of the committee. There is no doubt that the availability of the British Committee papers were important factors influencing the story told in the book. But this does not, in the author's view, amount to the reduction of the British School to the British Committee.

4. Beyond the Watchtower?: A Further Note on the Origins of the English School and its Theoretical Potential.

*SCHOOLS, *INTERNATIONAL relations, *INTERNATIONAL cooperation
Abstract

The article presents the author's arguments to Tim Dunne's response to his critics about his book Inventing International Society: A History of the English School. Dunne claims that the alternative account of the English School that I would like to see is one that locates the school in the Department of International Relations at the London School of Economics (LSE) and its origins in neo-Grotian legal philosophy in the 1930s. The first part of this statement is wrong, since what I called for was an account that recognized the importance of both the LSE and the British Committee. As for the second part of the statement, my argument was that the intellectual development that began at the LSE in the 1940s and 1950s was inspired not only by classical realism, but also by earlier traditions of international law, including both the solidarist and the pluralist one. At the end of his response, Dunne argued that his criteria give us the possibility of distinguishing between the English School and Neo-Liberal Institutionalism. This is correct, but in my view it is not the primary force of the book insofar that this distinction is relatively unproblematic. What Dunne's book has to offer is first of all an account of some of the key members of the English School, and of an important part of the school's history, namely the part played by the British Committee. This is how I am going to recommend the book to my students and colleagues.

7. Investigating International Society.

Author

Henderson, Conway W.

Subjects
*INTERNATIONAL relations
Abstract

The article analyzes four books on international society. These books are "Inventing International Society: A History of the English School," by Tim Dunne; "International Society and the Development of International Relations Theory," edited by B. A. Roberson; "International Relations in a Constructed World," edited by Vendulka Kubálková, Nicholas Onuf and Paul Kowart; and "Social Theory of International Politics," by Alexander Wendt. Many scholars reacting to sustained and deepening patterns of co-operation among the major states, have investigated world anarchy as an ongoing social experience that encourages actors to share institutions and a liberal policy agenda. Despite this healthy interest in the intriguing concept of international society, most American scholars, at least, have dealt with the rising patterns of co-operation within the neorealist-neoliberal debate. Neorealists argue that co-operation tends to break down since states cannot resist the temptation to pursue selfish interests. Neoliberals, in contrast, believe states make rational choices to co-operate because it maximizes their gains, as when states participate in trade.
