Hledání mezinárodního řádu: přístup Anglické školy k analýze mezinárodní politiky
In Search of International Order: The English School Approach to the Analysis of International Politics

Summary/Abstract: The English School of International Relations is one of the long-established theoretical approaches in IR that systematically interrogates the purpose and the character of international order at the macro-level of international politics. This paper aims to introduce and explore how the English School theoretically conceptualises and investigates international order by analysing deeply embedded (the so-called primary) institutions and other related institutional elements, norms and practices. The paper synthesises the core argument of the School, discusses how recent debates develop it and which key cleavages are present among English School authors. I argue and demonstrate that the English School has been dynamically evolving in the last two decades and that it can contribute to our understanding of the changing world. The paper also encourages the development of English School research in the Czech academic context.
