5XÉçÇø Hedley Bull
This prize is named in honour of Hedley Bull (1932–1985), who left Australia to study politics at the University of Oxford, and thereafter spent time teaching and conducting research at the Australian National University, London School of Economics, and the University of Oxford, where he held the Montague Burton Chair in International Relations.
Hedley Bull's seminal contribution to the field of International Relations is widely acknowledged by scholars around the world. His book, The Anarchical Society (Columbia University Press, 1977), became a key text in the field of International Relations and is read by IR scholars and students around the world.
