The Anarchical Society is one of the masterworks of political science and the classic text on the nature of order in world politics. Originally published in 1977, it continues to define and shape the discipline of international relations. This edition has been updated with a new, interpretive foreword by Andrew Hurrell. Bull explores three fundamental questions: What is order in world politics? How is order maintained in the contemporary states system? What alternative paths to world order are desirable and feasible? Laws and institutions, Bull points out, shift and change over time. The Anarchical Society addresses the unwritten rules which have allowed international order to exist across the ages.

This collection of essays works around the topic of ethnicity, exploring how it helps a group of people sustain a sense of purpose and identity. Jews, not having been exposed as blacks were to enslavement, had more self-confidence in the moral force and cultural authority of their tradition. But as with Africans, the secular culture of modern Europe and America denigrated their religion and the peasant culture through which it had been conveyed. To maintain the moral force of the religious traditions in the modern world required the fabrication of a new culture, both religious and secular. This book is divided into two sections: 'Ideology and Method in American Jewish History,' and 'Men and Women and the Making of an Ethnic Community,' which dwells upon the evolutions of cultural institutions such as sex roles, marriage, B'nai B'rith, the Ku Klux Klan and advertising. The author has focused his research on individual families and on changes and participation in secular institutions. Co-published with the American Jewish Archives.
