Primes¶
- Sovereignty
- Migration produces populations whose legal loyalty and cultural identity may not align with the state's territorial claims, complicating the assumption that sovereignty is exercised over a stable, bounded population with shared interests—precisely the kind of mismatch between formal authority and effective coordination that Bull (1977) identified as the structural condition of an "anarchical society," and that ICISS (2001) attempted to manage through the Responsibility to Protect framework.
This sourceDevelops the concept of an "anarchical society" of sovereign states cooperating without supreme arbiter; foundational text for the English School theory of international order under conditions of unsupported sovereignty.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Bull's abstract states order rests on the sovereign-states system; it says nothing of migration, identity, or a formal-authority/coordination mismatch.
“He argues that the system of sovereign states is not in decline and is not an obstacle to world order but its essential foundation.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
