THE IDEA OF INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY AS DEVELOPED BY BULL, WIGHT, AND WATSON CANNOT BEAR THE INTELLECTUAL WEIGHT THEY WISH TO PUT ON IT. IT CAN NEITHER ADD VERY MUCH TO THE EXPLANATION OR UNDERSTANDING OF WORLD POLITICS NOR CAN IT SERVE AS A USEFUL NORMATIVE GUIDE TO ACTION IN WORLD POLITICS. A PRIMARY REASON FOR THIS IS THE COMMUNITARIAN LIBERAL FORM THE ARGUMENT TAKES--A FORM UNABLE TO PROVIDE IT WITH THE CONCEPTUAL RESOURCES NECESSARY FOR SUCH A TASK. AS A RESULT, REFLEXIVE THINKING ABOUT WORLD POLITICS MUST DEVELOP DIFFERENT STRATEGIES TO EXAMINE AND EVALUATE THE CONTEMPORARY SITUATION.
