At its core, the English School is interested in how international politics evolves along a continuum from international anarchy to an intemational system to a revolution in international affairs that would end in a world society. The transition from anarchy to international society may have progressed further in Europe than elsewhere. Can we apply the lessons learned from the evolution of a security community in Europe to Africa? The argument here is that that the antecedent structural conditions that shaped the evolution of the European system are absent in the Africa sub-system. Therefore, similar processes, such as transnational activity, will not necessarily lead to similar ends.
