Summary

Chapter 2 provides the main theoretical and conceptual framework for the analysis in this book. The first section introduces the conceptual landscape of the English School, especially the concepts of primary institutions, the solidarism versus pluralism debate, and the link between international society and world society.The second section reviews how various English School authors have interpreted the rise of global environmental politics, moving from an initial neglect of environmental issues among the founders of the English School to a more comprehensive engagement with global environmentalism in recent years. Building on this, the third section outlines the analytical framework that will inform the empirical analysis in the remainder of the book.
