## Description

How does one understand the idea of society on a global scale, where the members are not individuals, but states, firms, NGOs and nations? The English school represents a strong tradition of thinking about these unusual societies, and in this book Barry Buzan offers a fresh contribution to that tradition. He sets out a new theoretical framework emphasising social structure that can be used to address globalisation as a complex political interplay among state and non-state actors.
