The emergence of environmental stewardship as a primary institution of global international society
In: European journal of international relations, Band 25, Heft 1, S. 131-155
ISSN: 1460-3713
This article develops an English School framework for analysing the emergence of new primary institutions in global international society, and applies this to the case of environmental stewardship. The article traces the impact that global environmentalism has had on the normative order of global international society, examines the creation of secondary institutions around this norm and identifies the ways in which these developments have become embedded in the constitution and behaviour of states. It assesses the ways in which environmental stewardship has interacted with the other primary institutions that compose global international society, changing some of the understandings and practices associated with them. The conclusions argue that environmental stewardship is likely to be a durable institution of global international society, and that it might be a harbinger of a more functional turn in its priorities.

Barbary Coast in the expansion of international society: Piracy, privateering, and corsairing as primary institutions
In: Review of international studies: RIS, Band 42, Heft 5, S. 840-857
ISSN: 1469-9044
AbstractFrom the 'long' sixteenth century the Ottoman regencies of North Africa operated as major centres of piracy and privateering across the Mediterranean Sea. Though deemed by emerging European powers to be an expression of the 'barbarian' status of Muslim and Ottoman rulers and peoples, piracy, and corsairing in fact played a major role in the development of the 'primary' or 'master' institutions of international society such as sovereignty, war, or international law. Far from representing a 'barbarian' challenge to the European 'standard of civilization', piracy and privateering in the modern Mediterranean acted as contradictory vehicles in the affirmation of that very standard.This article explores how Barbary piracy, privateering, and corsairing acted as 'derivative' primary institutions of international society. Drawing on recent 'revisionist' accounts of the expansion of international society, it argues that piracy and corsairing simultaneously contributed to the construction of law and sovereignty across the Mediterranean littoral whilst also prompting successive wars and treaties aimed at outlawing such practices. The cumulative effect of these complex historical experiences indicates that primary institutions of international society owe much more to 'barbarism' and 'illegality', an indeed to international stratification uneven development, than is commonly acknowledged.

Thirty years of integration of Visually handicapped students into post-primary institutions in Plateau State, Nigeria, 1957-1987 : an evaluation
In: British journal of visual impairment: BJVI, Band 7, Heft 1, S. 26-28
ISSN: 1744-5809
The careers of visually handicapped people who have been educated in post-primary schools and colleges in Plateau State, Nigeria, are evaluated in terms of percentage employment, type of employment and further/higher educatio n. Recommendations for improving the quality of education offered to visually handicapped students in the State are then made.
A quantitative approach to studying hierarchies of primary institutions in international society : the case of United Nations General Assembly disarmament resolutions, 1989–1998
In this article, we aim to contribute to two contemporary debates within the English School. The debate about how to observe primary institutions and the debate concerning hierarchy between primary institutions. Specifically, we analyse references to primary institutions in United Nations General Assembly disarmament resolutions in the decade 1989–1998 and their distribution using descriptive statistics. In this way, the article offers a novel approach to identifying primary institutions empirically, and provides some insight into the hierarchy-question in the sense of documenting the relative numerical presence of references to different primary institutions in a specific issue area and temporal context. With respect to the latter, the key finding is that great power management, diplomacy and international law are by far the most prominent primary institutions in the analysed material. This is an intriguing finding, not least given the importance attached to them by Hedley Bull in his classic work The Anarchical Society: A Study of Order in World Politics. The main contribution of the article is thus to spell out a new approach to how the aforementioned debates might proceed empirically. ; Publisher PDF ; Peer reviewed

Complexity in international society: theorising fragmentation and linkages in primary and secondary institutions
This article seeks to contribute to theorising the institutional structure of international society by exploring synergies between complex systems thinking and the English School theory of International Relations (IR). Suggesting that the English School already embraces key conceptual insights from complexity theory, most notably relational and adaptive systems thinking, it reconfigures international society as a complex social system. To further advance the English School's research programme on international institutions, the article introduces the notion of "law-governed emergence" and distils two effects it has on global institutional ordering practices: fragmentation and clustering. These moves help to establish complexity as a fundamental structural condition of institutional ordering at the global level, and to provide a basis for taking steps toward better understanding the nature and significance of institutional interconnections in a globalised international society.

The political international society: Change in primary and secondary institutions
In: Review of international studies: RIS, Band 41, Heft 3, S. 601-622
ISSN: 1469-9044
This article intends to contribute to the theorising of institutional change. Specifically, it asks how dynamics in the 'deep structure' of international society correspond to changes in more specific institutions as embodied by regimes and international organisations. It does so by taking up the distinction of primary and secondary institutions in international society advocated by scholars of the English School. It argues that, while the differentiation offers analytical potential, the School has largely failed to study secondary institutions such as international organisations and regimes as autonomous objects of analysis, seeing them as mere materialisations of primary institutions. Engaging with the concepts of structuration and path dependence will allow scholars working in an English School framework to explore more deeply the relation between the two kinds of institutions, and as a consequence devise more elaborate theories of institutional change. Based on this argument, the article develops a theoretical model that sees primary and secondary institutions entangled in distinctive processes of constitution and institutionalisation. This model helps to establish international organisations and regimes as a crucial part of the English School agenda, and to enlighten the political mechanisms that lead to continuity and change in international institutions more broadly.
