Oxford University Press Preparing for War The Making of the 1949 Geneva
Book SynopsisPreparing for War, based upon extensive archival research and critical legal methodologies, explores the often misunderstood history of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, among the most important rules for armed conflict ever formulated.Trade ReviewPreparing for War. The Making of the Geneva Conventions offers us a thick historical contextualization of pressing issues. * Silvia Steininger, Helga Molbæk-Steensig, European Journal of International Law *In sum, van Dijk's reverse-weaving provides us a much more nuanced picture of not only what was included but also of what was excluded from the fabric of the 1949 Conventions. It offers, I suggest, an illustrative template of what contemporary international legal history should look like as it brings together the lessons learned from more than two decades of rich scholarship on the relationship between comparative legal history, on the one hand, and politics, the theory and history of international law, and imperialism, on the other. * DANIEL R. QUIROGA VILLAMARÍN, Doctoral Candidate and Researcher based at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (Geneva, Switzerland)., The New Rambler *The best legal history illuminates outcomes while resisting celebratory or cynical determinism. Dr van Dijk's new history of the Geneva Conventions and humanitarianism in war is a masterpiece of methodological and conceptual sophistication. Through meticulous archival research and critical analysis, van Dijk recovers a multitude of voices and possibilities in the making of the law of war we have, and the ways we might imagine its unrealized potential. * Prof. Naz K. Modirzadeh, Harvard University *In Preparing for War, Boyd van Dijk provides a most welcome update to the history of international humanitarian law. The hallmark of this deeply researched analysis of the 1949 Geneva Conventions is its simultaneous attention to politics and history. In exposing the constant tension between politics and humanitarianism, van Dijk reminds us of the perpetually unfinished nature of the project of humanizing war. * Prof. Tanisha M. Fazal, University of Minnesota *Van Dijk's riveting book is the culmination of a decade of new histories of international law, marking the arrival of professional research methods and independent critical analysis to the study of international law's most hallowed texts: the Geneva Conventions. Van Dijk's account of the drafting of the Conventions reveals them to be the products not merely of humanitarian ideals inspired by the horrors of war, but also of fierce Cold War contests and colonial rivalries. Highly recommended. * Prof. John Fabian Witt, Yale University *Nothing was inevitable in the drafting of the Geneva Conventions, Boyd van Dijk argues in this important and exciting revisionist work. The author's expansive multi-lingual archival research enables him to reconceive this history by tracing the genealogy of the drafting, revealing the Articles' contingency. Drafters had directly experienced the brutality of total war, and this informed their efforts to protect civilians. Women, like French resistance fighter Andrée Jacob, played crucial roles. Cold War politics mattered, but adversaries nevertheless collaborated on matters that served their common interests. This outstanding work will influence the next generation of writing on the Geneva Conventions. * Prof. Mary Dudziak, Emory University *Boyd van Dijk has written a superb political and legal history of the making of the four Geneva Conventions. * Dr. Hugo Slim, University of Oxford *Preparing for War is a fascinating read. Dr Boyd van Dijk takes us to the heart of the negotiations and lets us see into the minds of the key players. * Professor Andrew Clapham, Geneva Graduate Institute *Van Dijk's book is excellent for exposing this dynamic in relation to the geneva conventions and for unearthing some of the politics behind those crucial treaties. Preparing for War is a compelling read. It is powerfully written and offers us the richest and most nuanced account of the negotiations leading to adoption of the Geneva Conventions currently on offer. * Professor Larissa van den Herik, The American Journal of International Law *Preparing for War - The Making of the Geneva Conventions is a book no international humanitarian law scholar should miss. It is a truly interdisciplinary piece of scholarship, which masterfully handles history, political science and international law in telling the story of the drafting and negotiation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. * Dr Bianca Maganza, Geneva Graduate Institute *Boyd van Dijk's Preparing for War offers a rich historical account of the drafting process of the 1949 Geneva Conventions which goes beyond the usual triumphalist rhetoric and uncovers the behind the scenes strategies, struggles and coincidences. * Professor Eyal Benvenisti, University of Cambridge *Boyd van Dijk has done an invaluable job. He presents in detail the diverse controversies and opposing opinions amongst different states, whether in or outside the Western, Eastern, or 'Third World' blocs, that arose during the discussion and writing of the fourth Convention and rewriting the first, second and third. In doing so he made his book a priceless contribution to the history of humanitarianism, the laws of warfare, the Red Cross, and international relations. * Leo van Bergen, Medicine, Conflict and Survival *Table of Contents1: Introduction 2: The Twisted Road to Geneva 3: Making the Civilian Convention 4: Internationalizing Civil and Colonial Wars 5: Fighters in the Shadow 6: Indiscriminate Warfare: Bombing, Nuclear Weapons, and Starvation 7: Preparing for the Worst 8: Conclusion

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Comparative Consumer Insolvency Regimes: A
Book SynopsisAll modern legal systems with advanced economies must address the question of how to respond to the needs of insolvent consumers whose burden of debt greatly exceeds their capacity to repay within a reasonable time frame. This study surveys comparatively the insolvency regimes currently in place or likely to be adopted in the foreseeable future in Canada,the United States, Australia, England and Wales, Scotland, Scandinavia and a representative group of Western countries on the continent of Europe. Modern legal systems have two basic alternatives in providing relief for over-committed consumers. The first, which involves restricting the enforcement of individual creditor remedies is a method with which this study is not concerned. Where the consumer is seriously insolvent and owes money to many creditors, a different approach is required -- a collective solution to debtor's problems - and this, the solution provided by modern insolvency systems, is the focus of this study.Trade Review...should have a lasting influence on the continuing debate about consumer credit and consumer bankruptcy going on across Europe. Adrian Walters Journal of Consumer Policy, Vol.28, Issue 2 2005 We are much indebted to Hart Publishing. So far as I am aware, no books dealing with consumer insolvency have previously been published in this country, and we now have two [Comparative Consumer Insolvency Regimes and Consumer Bankruptcy in Global Perspective] launched in the same month. And they are in many respects complementary, even to the point of having cross-references to each other, as well as being especially timely, in view of the reforms to the law of bankruptcy in England and Wales effected by the Enterprise Act 2002 The two books are a rich source of comparative study extending over a wide range of jurisdictions. These well-researched and informative books make most interesting reading and are to be commended to general as well as specialist readers.

New York University Press Habeas Corpus after 911
Book SynopsisThe US detention center at Guantanamo Bay has long been synonymous with torture, secrecy, and the abuse of executive power. This book provides an insider's view of the detention of enemy combatants and an accessible explanation of the complex forces that keep these systems running.Trade ReviewDeftly connecting Guantánamo to other secret prisons, law to politics, secrecy to terror, and the efforts of the courts to frame and reframe the ancient writ of habeas corpus for a modern era, Hafetz explores what was lost when habeas became a legal question as opposed to an answer. Anyone seeking a way forward on the issues of detention, incarceration, and the rule of law that continue to plague us would be well advised to start looking here for the answers. -- Dahlia Lithwick * Slate *Hafetzs incisive and insightful volume is more than just a summary of where we have been; it is an impassioned case for the proper way forward with regard both to the substance of national security detention policy and the role courts should play in reviewing and constraining it. Certain to become one of the indispensable accounts of the role that the & Great Writ has played both historically and after September 11, this book provides a powerful and timely testament to the foresight of the Founding Fathers in expressly enshrining the & privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in our Constitution. -- Stephen Vladeck,Professor of Law, American UniversityThe right to habeas corpus is the linchpin of a free nation, and the post-9/11 attack on this safeguard is thus one of the most significant erosions of freedom in many decades. Jonathan Hafetz provides the most thorough account yet of why this right matters so much and what should be done to preserve it. -- Glenn Greenwald * Salon *We all have snatches of the conversation in our heads: Guantánamo, habeas corpus, enemy combatant, military commissions, Bagram, rendition and torture. This book by one of the key lawyers on the front lines in the post-9/11 legal battles puts these pieces together; what emerges is not pretty. If you want to understand how a country that claimed it was the paradigm of fair treatment in its criminal justice system has tailored its laws to expediency, read this disturbing book. -- Michael Ratner,President, Center for Constitutional RightsHafetz's book is an excellent account of the five major Supreme Court cases addressing habeas corpus and constitutional rights to a fair trial after 9/11. * Choice *Habeas Corpus after 9/11 is an impassioned and exhaustive examination of the lack of legal safeguards afforded to detainees at such places as Guantánamo, Bagram, Abu Ghraib, and to those who were the subjects of extraordinary rendition. . . .Thoughtful and well-researched responses to the conditions of the time . . . provide[s] political scientists and historians with perspectives on habeas corpus that they need to consider. * Law and Politics Book Review *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction Part 1 1 Laying the Foundation for the "War on Terror" 2 Guantanamo: Microcosm of a Prison beyond the Law 3 Guantanamo beyond Guantanamo: Toward a Global Detention System 4 Crossing a Constitutional Rubicon: The Domestic "Enemy Combatant" CasesPart 2 5 Habeas Corpus and the Right to Challenge Unlawful Imprisonment 6 The Seeds of a Global Constitution Part 3 7 A Modest Judicial Intervention: The First Supreme Court "Enemy Combatant" Decisions 8 The Battle for Habeas Corpus Continues 9 Tackling Prisons beyond the Law: Guantanamo Revisited ContentsPart 4 10 Toward a Better Understanding of Habeas Corpus: Individual Rights and the Role of the Judiciary during Wartime 11 The Elusive Custodian: Some Potential Limits of Habeas Corpus 12 Terrorism as Crime: Toward a Lawful and Sustainable Detention Policy 13 Continuity and Change: The Detention Policy of a New Administration Notes Index About the Author

Nova Science Publishers Inc Alternative Fuel Use by the Department of
Book SynopsisThis book provides background information and identifies issues for Congress regarding Department of Defense (DOD) alternative fuel initiatives, an issue of considerable attention during hearings in 2012 on DOD''s FY2013 budget. Ongoing alternative fuel efforts of the DOD and the military services include purchases of alternative fuels for testing and evaluation, as well as the certification of alternative fuels for use in service fleets. In addition, the Navy, in co-ordination with the Department of Energy and the Department of Agriculture, intends to spur domestic advanced biofuel production at a commercial scale using the authority of the Defense Production Act. The services (Army, Navy, and Air Force) have spent approximately $48 million on alternative fuels, and the Navy has proposed a $170 million investment in biofuel production capacity. An overview of the DOD''s alternative fuels policy and data on DOD''s alternative fuels purchase to date, as well as the status of testing platforms on alternative fuel blends and the certification of those blends for fleet-wide use within the services is also discussed.
