He was a research fellow at Christ Church, Oxford, from 1983 to 1986, an assistant professor of international relations at the Bologna Centre of the School of Advanced International Studies of Johns Hopkins University (now known as The Johns Hopkins University SAIS Europe) from 1986 to 1989.

In 1989, Hurrell became a lecturer in international relations at the University of Oxford from 1989 to 2008, where he was a fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford. In 2008, he was elected Montague Burton Professor of International Relations and became a fellow of Balliol College, Oxford. [1] He was also a Delegate of Oxford University Press and a member of its Finance Committee. [2]

He has held visiting positions at the University of São Paulo, the University of Brasilia, the Fundação Getúlio Vargas, New York University, the Free University of Berlin, the Kollegforschungsgruppe in Berlin, and Humboldt University of Berlin.

Research

His research interests cover theories of international relations; theories of global governance; the history of thought on international relations; comparative regionalism; and the international relations of the Americas, with particular reference to Brazil. In a recent survey of International Relations teaching and research in 20 countries he was one of only two non-US scholars listed as having produced the most interesting scholarship over the past five years.

Hurrell is an expert on Brazil and has authored a large number of works on Latin American politics. He is a leading theorist of the 'International Society' approach pioneered at the London School of Economics (LSE) and Oxford by Hedley Bull, and has published widely on a vast range of international issues, from the United Nations and humanitarian intervention to international law. His current research project involves comparing the policies and outlooks of emerging regional powers such as Brazil and India, asking what their role in the shifting world order is likely to be. [1]

His current work focuses on emerging powers and the globalization of international society and what this means for ideas and practices of global order, for IR theory, and for international normative theory. Collaborative projects include concerts of power in the 21st century; provincializing Westphalia; and ASEAN integration through law. On the topic of globalization, he has recorded an interview at the Einstein Foundation Berlin on how to correspond to it politically. [3] He is also completing a short introduction to global governance. [1]

The English School of international relations theory maintains that there is a 'society of states' at the international level, despite the condition of anarchy. The English school stands for the conviction that ideas, rather than simply material capabilities, shape the conduct of international politics, and therefore deserve analysis and critique. In this sense it is similar to constructivism, though the English School has its roots more in world history, international law and political theory, and is more open to normative approaches than is generally the case with constructivism.
