In his memorial lecture to Martin Wight, Bull noted how he had been a ‘constant borrower’ from the mind of his mentor, ‘always hoping to transcend it but never able to escape it.’ There is no doubt that Bull thought about International Relations in quintessentially Wightean terms: the habit of thinking in threes; the search for patterns in the history of ideas about international relations; the belief that academics should keep a critical distance from the short-termism of policy-making; and finally, the recognition that an enquiry into the normative basis of international society must proceed on a comparative basis. These fundamental points of convergence have prompted a representation in the literature of the Wight-Bull lineage as the backbone of the international society tradition.
