Isi artikel

The hard edge imparted to mid-twentieth century British International Relations by Christian realism has been neglected in histories of the second great debate. Indeed standard accounts of the development of the discipline have little to say about its secularization. Against a backdrop of renewed interest in political theology, this article sets out to remind a secular readership of the Augustinian element in the British tradition, principally by reviewing some of the writings of Herbert Butterfield. It goes on to pose the question of how far subsequent British thought about international society may have been weakened by a failure to confront its own secularization, drawing particular attention to later ambivalence in the English School about the source of moral obligation between states and the role of agency in overcoming structural dilemmas
