Abstract

As demonstrated through the concepts of constitutionalism and medievalism, Burke posits the existence of an international society, sustained by institutions such as the balance of power, and regulated by legal and moral standards. While this society is marked by a degree of autonomy and decentralisation, Burke believes any diversity of interests is possible only because of an underlying sense of community. For him, the “love to the whole is not extinguished by this subordinate partiality”1 for there is a solidarist consensus among the parts in fostering and maintaining order.KeywordsInternational SocietyEighteenth CenturyInternational RelationEuropean StateSovereign StateThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
