The English School of International Relations is one of the long-established theoretical approaches in IR that systematically explores the purpose and the character of international order at the macro-level of international politics. It does so by analysing deeply embedded (the so-called primary) institutions and other related institutional elements, norms and practices. This paper aims to introduce how the English School theoretically conceptualise and analyse international order. The paper synthetises the core argument of the English School, discusses how recent debates develop it and which key cleavages are present in the English School. 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 developments of the English School research in the Czech academic context.

"The article inquires into the conditions of effective leadership of states in international politics, and develops a framework for the study of so-called (new) regional powers such as Brazil, China, India, and South Africa in processes of regional institution-building. Various theoretical strands will be discussed as to the requirements of effective leadership in international affairs. Most importantly, the relationship between power, leadership and hegemony will be outlined. It is argued that the connection between leadership and hegemony is one of co-constitution. Leadership is necessarily based on hegemony, while hegemony can only be sustained through leadership. Furthermore, it will be shown that both leadership and hegemony are essentially political in character, whereas power has no such insinuation but has to be translated into leadership and hegemony through discursive means. Finally, the analysis asks for the preconditions of leadership in East Asia, using China's and Japan's roles in East Asian regionalism as an illustration." (author's abstract)

L'accident de Fukushima a conduit l'AIEA, garante du cadre international de sûreté nucléaire, à tester ses procédures d'urgence et à préciser les instruments à sa disposition. Le Plan d'action sur la sûreté nucléaire du 22 septembre 2011 met en place les éléments d'un renforcement des contrôles autour de la notion de transparence de l'évaluation par les pairs. Ce Plan d'action constitue une étape importante, applicable sans attendre une éventuelle modification juridique des conventions de sûreté.

The responsibility of the state in international law is a subject of constantly increasing interest, whether to the practicing lawyer, who finds himself called upon to prepare an international claim, or to the theoretician, interested, perhaps, in the current codification of international law.1 Of the many problems connected with state responsibility, one of the most interesting, and at the same time one of the most vital,is that of the proper denotation to be given to the phrase " denial of justice." Most debates hinge upon definitions; and a consistent statement of the rules of responsibility would seem impossible until denial of justice is given clearer definition.It is believed that practice now affords us enough consideration of the meaning of the term to permit of analysis and of more precise definition.
