Why have Bangladesh’s regional integrative efforts sputtered more than resonate? Will its sought-after Southeast Asian trade linkages stem from what is on the table than off of it? A structured-focused study 1 , utilizing methods both case 2 and comparative 3 , applies neo-functional and regional integration tenets 4 , to the country’s diplomatic neighbourhood forays, before probing possible future trajectories. Preliminary findings elevate exogenous (not necessarily external) constraints and interdependent relations 5 , more than endogenous and integrative. Among the constraints: (a) Bangladesh’s export rigidities and the stubbornness to diversify consumption patterns; (b) infrastructural deficiencies impeding the necessary flows for regional growth; (c) security considerations impinging progress, limiting partner possibilities; and (d) mostly the absence of any south-south exchange weltanschauung to fall back upon.

This article reviews four writings in International Relations (IR) each of which provides an influential theoretical perspective on the global order. The first text, authored by Hedley Bull, marked a sharp departure from the dominant realist school of thought. Bull’s concept of the society of states maintains an international order by common interests based on a set of primary or universal goals. He argues that the common interests among the states are the prerequisites for forming the order. The second book, authored by Alexander Wendt, offers a ground-breaking meta-theory of constructivism.

This article investigates whether practitioners argued that general and complete disarmament (GCD) would corrupt international society during the two major debates of this issue in the 20th century, namely in 1927–1928 and 1959. The purpose and value of this analysis is to learn more about the workings of international society. Following Bull and other English School scholars, GCD probably represents the most radical challenge to the traditional conception of international society and its institutions. The only challenge of similar magnitude would appear to be the creation of a universal state or world government, fundamentally removing anarchy from the ‘anarchical society’. The article thus investigates whether those concerns about corruption, raised by scholars, resonate with the expressed public opinion of practitioners – diplomats and statesmen – in the actual deliberation of GCD in international fora: the Preparatory Commission for the Disarmament Conference, 1927–1928, and the United Nations, 1959. The main finding is that the corruption argument does appear in these public deliberations, and in intriguing and complex ways. The article thus offers a novel analysis of how practitioners publicly deal with a supposedly radical challenge to international society.
