brief introduction

Barry buzan, 1940 was born in London, England, grew up in Canada, and then returned to the UK to study. Since then, he has been working and living in the UK, with dual citizenship of Canada and the UK. 1968 graduated from the university of British Columbia with a bachelor's degree, and continued to study for a master's degree but gave up halfway. 1973 graduated from London School of Economics and Political Science with a doctorate. He has been a professor at Warwick University, a visiting professor at Japan International University, and a professor at university of westminster (1996), and later transferred to the London School of Economics and Political Science as a professor of international relations (2003-present). He is also the honorary professor of Jilin University and Copenhagen University, and the director of the project center of Copenhagen Peace Research Institute (COPRI) in Denmark. He was the chairman of the British Institute for International Studies (1988-1990); Vice President of International Studies Association (North America) (1993- 1994). 1999 till now, the main coordinator of the reconstruction project of British Institute of International Relations; In 2004, he was the editor of European Journal of International Relations.

During the period of 1996, critics such as Buzan, McSweeney and Neumann began to call themselves "Copenhagen School" and other researchers living in northern Europe with the Copenhagen Institute of Peace and Conflict as the center. Unexpectedly, "Copenhagen School" has become a special term in the field of international relations, and it has also made Buzan and others more familiar.

As an academic representative of the English school, Buzan not only inherited and absorbed the international social thoughts of predecessors such as White and Bull, but also accepted them completely without sticking to the rules. On the basis of sensitively grasping the pulse of theory and the development of the times, he developed it again. Although there are still some defects in his efforts, which can't solve all the problems in the theory of international society, it is enough to give new life to the English school: his reinterpretation of the core ideas of international society makes the core propositions of the English school more complete, clear and profound; Re-understanding of the future research topics of the English school has further freed the theory of international society from the shackles of Eurocentrism and historicism, broadened its horizons, more suited to the reality of the development of international relations, and made its development direction clearer; The in-depth exploration of the value orientation of the international community and its main institutions has unified the theoretical paradigm of the British school and highlighted its theoretical characteristics. Generally speaking, Buzan's thought of international society is not only a reflection and transcendence of his own theory, but also a persistence and development. It is in this kind of reflection and transcendence, persistence and development that the English school has achieved its own breakthrough and stood proudly in the forest of international relations theory.
