Notes
1 For textbook attempts to apply these see, for example, Jackson and Sørenson (2003),
pp.139-174.
2 This is highlighted by the concluding chapter to Global Civil Society: An Answer to
War?, titled: ‘September 11: The Return of the “Outside”’.
3 See, for example, Justin Rosenberg’s The Empire of Civil Society (1994).
4 This point is well drawn out in Rob Walker’s Inside/Outside (1994).
5 As Hedly Bull noted even if, in a highly unlikely scenario, the states of the European
Union completely gave up their national sovereignty the consequences would merely
be the creation of a larger nation-state (1995:255).
6 This is why the question of whether the state is a ‘person’ is not answerable as a
question of sociology or psychology, despite the recent attempts of International
Relations theorists to try. See for example P. T. Jackson et al (2004).
7 I’m grateful to Professor A. J. R. Groom for pointing out in discussion that the post-
1945 era was a ‘blip’ rather than the norm, at the 2001 International Studies
Association Convention held in Hong Kong.
