具体描述
The Anarchical Society is one of the masterworks of political science and the classic text on the nature of order in world politics. Originally published in 1977, it continues to define and shape the discipline of international relations. This edition has been updated with a new, interpretive foreword by Andrew Hurrell. Bull explores three fundamental questions: What is order in world politics? How is order maintained in the contemporary states system? What alternative paths to world order are desirable and feasible? Laws and institutions, Bull points out, shift and change over time. The Anarchical Society addresses the unwritten rules which have allowed international order to exist across the ages.

Ok, read it for stupid IOs class
评分补个标，毕竟只是国关理论给不了五星【
评分很工整，很通俗，但不如怀特有灵性，佳作
评分是否代表了English school总体怎么样我不敢说，但Bull的思路就是IR里的维稳逻辑。说社会体系有基本目标，rules & institutions维持秩序，但institutions里有用的还是balance of power一类。然而又缺少Realism（的一些人）里对权力的反思。一方面Bull承认国际法不具有约束力（约束力仍然来自BOP和战争的不值得），承认国际体系能够成立是因为符合大国利益，其他国家只有inertia，甚至承认主权国家体系反人权；而另一方面还拼命justify现有国际体系，说秩序是其他价值的前提条件，所以即使其起源再不正义再反人权也要维护。也算是得格劳秀斯的精髓，格劳秀斯有多反动Bull就十倍地反动。
评分头晕眼花之下看完了，然而觉得没有第一次读Wendt的时候那种对建构主义心眼一亮的感觉。亮点是对于国家理论的分析中有更多政治学的成分，Wendt的理论更偏社会学一点
