Description: Diplomatic Investigations is a seminal work in the field of International Relations. This collection brings together twelve papers delivered to early meetings of the British Committee on the Theory of International Politics, featuring several iconic essays such as Wight’s ‘Why is there no International Theory?’ and ‘Western Values in International Relations’, Hedley Bull’s ‘Society and Anarchy in International Relations’ and ‘The Grotian Conception of International Society’, and contributions by Herbert Butterfield and Martin Wight on ‘The Balance of Power’. Individually and collectively, these chapters have significantly influenced both the English school of international relations and a wide array of other approaches to the field. This reissue includes a new introduction by Ian Hall and Tim Dunne, ensuring that this influential work remains accessible to new generations of students and scholars.
