Learning from Vermeer: What “The Allegory of Painting” Means for Clinical Theory
Vermeer's masterpiece, "The Allegory of Painting," which is the one work that he refused to sell, brings to mind the successful outcome of psychoanalytic treatment. In its incongruities, this painting presumably contains and reflects the conflicted inner world of the artist, but it also evokes a remarkable sense of coherence and harmony. To develop a credible explanation for Vermeer's achievement in analytic terms, I found it helpful to employ se…

Order and Violence: Hedley Bull and International Relations
Hedley Bull, Montague Burton Professor of International Relations at Oxford from 1977 until his death in 1985, was one of the great scholars of his generation. He wrote within a tradition of political thought which he himself traced back to Hobbes and Hume and to Grotius and the natural lawyers. He not only added to the literature in this tradition, but he also showed how it could become a foundation for the study of International Relations. In t…
Sovereignty as a source of vitality for the state
The title of this paper contains three terms which require definition—sovereignty, vitality and the state. I shall begin by defining these, and shall then discuss various reasons why the state acquires vitality from its possession of sovereignty. Finally I shall ask whether sovereignty is likely to become less significant as a source of vitality, and? if so, what is likely to take its place
The dialogue between states
The title of this article is the sub-title of Adam Watson's book, and is, I hope, just as helpful in describing the scope of the article as it is in explaining what the book is about. Each of the six books considered here is concerned with communication between states at a variety of levels, with the effectiveness of the dialogue, and with possibilities for the future. I intend first to discuss them briefly and then to consider some of the proble…
Bi-Polar Perspectives: International Theory and the Future of the State
There is no consensus among scholars about what is happening to the state. Indeed, some scholars doubt that anything significant is happening to it at all. When, for example, J.N. Rosenau entered the Augean stables with a tract on transnationalism whose underlying premise is the erosion of the authority previously wielded by states he was promptly swept away by F.S. Northedge.1 In Northedge's view, the only challenge to the state comes from other…

The End of Bombast and Pessimism
It is best to start by clearing our minds of cant. There is a myth to the effect that the British were wholeheartedly devoted to their empire; they thought of it when they woke up, and went to bed with a prayer for it on their lips. The empire made them great. In return, they gave their dependencies the means of being great too. The essence of the myth, however, is their conviction that God had given them a trust which they deserved. Was this tru…
A Tracery of Influences
LATE IN 1952 I ARRIVED IN LONDON FROM AUSTRALIA. I WAS to spend ten happy years in England, a period from which can be traced many of the influences which still matter to me. Nonetheless, the thirteen years before 1952 had provided a good deal of intellectual luggage which served me in various ways in England, and which still has relevance; so it is probably best to start with that earlier period in Australia, and explain how I got some of the id…

The Decline of Inter se
The British empire delegation at Peace Conference in 1919 consisted of Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, and India, as well as Britain. Each representative signed on behalf of empire, although overseas representatives had their countries' names added to their own. For some years it was not clear how far this had given those countries separate international personalities, although they all members of League of Nations. Lawyers and scho…
