Hedley Bull was an important figure in the study of international relations and his work focused on the evolution of international society. Here's some information about his ideas on international society and the international system:

International society

Bull believed that an international society is formed when a group of states share common interests and values, and recognize a common set of rules and institutions. He believed that this society should be understood on its own terms.
International system

Bull believed that an international system exists when two or more states are in constant contact with each other, and their behavior is a necessary part of each other's calculations. He believed that an international system can exist without an international society, but an international society presupposes an international system.
Evolution

Bull traced the historical evolution of modern international society. He was influenced by the work of sixteenth and seventeenth century theologians and international lawyers, who wrote at a time when a new system was being created out of the disintegration of the medieval one.
