Anarchy and Anarchism
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The use of „anarchy‟ in international relations theory appears very different from its incarnations in political philosophy. Whilst realist scholars have used anarchy to describe a condition of absence of centralised political authority in which states wield differential power, political philosophers in the anarchist tradition have mounted a critique of the coercive and compulsory powers of states themselves. This paper argues however, that these usages are not incompatible, and suggests a radical reconceptualisation of „anarchy‟ in international relations theory using insights from complexity theory.
