World order is understood not as an arrangement of entities, be they humans, states or civilizations, but a complex of variously situated activities, including individuals as members of diverse associations of their own. This idea is advanced from within one such association, or context, contemporary International Relations, wherein it entails a theoretical position, neotraditionalism, as a rectification of the initial, ‘traditionalist’ or ‘classical’, approach after the advance of rationalism and subsequent reflectivist critique.

Against a background of a common liberal reticence to commit on metaphysics, Matravers asks whether Scanlon's view is as free of metaphysics as he claims; in particular he assesses Scanlon's claim that the two kinds of responsibility are compatible with the Causal Thesis that all of our actions are caused in line with familiar causal laws (Scanlon, 1998, p. 250). Matravers's claim is that Scanlon's position is incomplete and that his account of substantive responsibility needs to be filled out before its compatibility can be determined, and so before its ability to meet the theoretical needs of these liberals can be assessed. His discussion is brief but persuasive.
