TL;DR: The Big Bang on the Stock Exchange in London is a convenient shorthand for two significant acts of deregulation: the abolition of monopolistic fixed commissions on securities transactions, and the removal of barriers to foreign entry into an exchange that was constituted as a private club as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The Big Bang on the Stock Exchange in London is a convenient shorthand for two significant acts of deregulation: the abolition of monopolistic fixed commissions on securities transactions, and the removal of barriers to foreign entry into an exchange that was constituted as a private club. While the discussion of the resulting upheaval in London's markets has tended to focus on domestic considerations, the move was a deliberate response by the Bank of England, the British Department of Trade and Industry and the Stock Exchange authorities to a threat posed by changes in the structure of the international securities markets. It is best understood within the context of a wider pattern of liberalization in the world's capital markets. For in the course of the present economic cycle governments in the main developed countries have busily scrapped an elaborate network of exchange controls, withholding taxes, barriers to foreign entry, restrictions on novel forms of financial instruments and direct controls on overseas investment. This article looks at some of the political and economic forces at work in the global trend towards unrestricted capital flows. More specifically, it will look at the implications for the City of London as an international financial centre.

TL;DR: The most striking aspect of his work is its extraordinary unity and the coherence of his approach: the unity of method and of substance, and the consistency and continuity of his concern about international society and those contemporary issues which are decisive for the survival of an international society as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: It was an honour and a privilege to be asked to review Hedley Bull's contribution to the study of international politics. Over the years we had discovered many affinities. We had a common way of looking at the theory and practice of international politics, even if we did not always give the same answers to the questions we both asked. I was always impressed by the extraordinary clarity and lucidity of his arguments, and by their fairness-by his way of taking into account all the points in his adversary's case, and all the objections to his own arguments and assumptions. Both of us looked at a discipline that had developed in the United States after the Second World War as outsiders who did not support all the premises of its main practitioners and theoreticians. I was always an admirer of the extraordinary sweep of Hedley Bull's mind, and yet when I reviewed his work I was left with an inevitable sense of incompleteness. He accomplished so much, but there were also so many more directions in which he might have gone and in which he was beginning to go. The most striking aspect of his work is its extraordinary unity and the coherence of his approach: the unity of method and of substance, and the consistency and continuity of his concern about international society and those contemporary issues which are decisive for the survival of an international society. However, there were also significant tensions in his work: they gave it its density, and make it particularly instructive and thought-provoking. The first part of this essay will be devoted to Hedley Bull's world view, and part two to his writings about the contemporary world political scene.
