This paper revisits the English School from the seminal work of Hedley Bull in 1977, passing by the efforts of Adam Watsom in the 80's, and culminating with Barry Buzan and Richard Little repagination in the 90's. It aims to rescue the school's historical ontology and sketch a research program that conciliates it with the French historiography one. One concludes that a system of multiple causalities can be detected in a systemic level, with material and psycho-social deep forces operating under the auspices of the concept of order, so crucial to this school.
