What law of armed conflict (LOAC) or its civilian counterpart, international humanitarian law (IHL), applies in a particular armed conflict? Are terrorists bound by that law? What constitutes a war crime? What (or who) is a lawful target and how are targeting decisions made? What are ''rules of engagement'' and who formulates them? How can an autonomous weapon system be bound by the law of armed conflict? Why were the Guantánamo military commissions a failure? Featuring new chapters, this book takes students through these topics and more, employing real-world examples and legal opinions from the US and abroad. From Nuremberg to 9\/11, from courts-martial to the US Supreme Court, from the nineteenth century to the twenty-first, the law of war is explained, interpreted, and applied with clarity and depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'… the book deserves to reach a wide audience.

The newly revised and updated third edition of this book is a masterpiece of scholarship, if for no other reason than that it focuses on the law of war conundrums that have arisen after and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. No other text takes a comprehensive look at 'artificial intelligence' in weapons and the law involved, the lawfulness of cross-border attacks when in the pursuit of terrorists, and the controversial lawfulness of “security detention” after the end of hostilities. While principally designed as a textbook for a law of war course, its clarity and compelling use of historical and contemporary examples make The Law of Armed Conflict an invaluable reference for military historians, journalists, practitioners, and the public generally.'

Carol Harlow, Paivi Leino-Sandberg and Giacinto della Cananea have gathered to make this book one of the most expert authorities in the field. The themes are very well chosen, covering what are certainly the most critical issues in the area. The same is true of the concepts mobilised, with those conveyed by regulatory theory being particularly welcome.

It is struggling in vain to overcome the eurozone crisis and faces an influx of refugees not seen since World War II. The Schengen Agreement is a dead letter, and Britain stands on the brink of leaving altogether. The EU is unfit for the challenges of the coming age of increased global competition and high tech. In sum, the drive for an \"ever-closer union\" has set Europe on the wrong course: plunged it into depression, fuelled national antagonisms, debilitated democracy, and accelerated decline. In this pithy, rigorously argued book, leading historian John Gillingham examines a once great notion that soured long ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom its postwar origins, through the Single Market, to the troubles of the present, Gillingham explains how Europe's would-be government became a force for anti-democratic centralization and inept policy-making. Brussels has inspired a world of illusion that now threatens to undo the undoubted achievements of integration. \u003ci\u003eThe EU: An Obituary\u003c\/i\u003e is an urgent call to the political Left, Right, and Centre to act before it is too late.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Gillingham has established himself as one of those very rare commentators who can read European history in three dimensions. -- Norman Stone, Oxford University\u003cbr\u003eAn excellent, up-to-date history of the EU which overturns many preconceived ideas and challenges the views of Eurofanatics and Eurosceptics alike. -- lan Sked, London School of Economics\u003cbr\u003eJohn Gillingham is the pre-eminent American historian of the European Union. -- Charles S. Maier, Harvard University\u003cbr\u003eAt a time when clear thinking about Europe's political and economic future is urgently needed, John Gillingham has provided a convincing diagnosis of the EU's present malaise and a challenging set of prescriptions which deserve to be taken seriously by Euro-philes as much as by Euro-sceptics. -- Sir Geoffrey Owen, London School of Economics\u003cbr\u003eAs a means to take corrective actions and ultimately save the EU, Gillingham pursues a historically driven reassessment of the EU's past aimed at examining missteps, discovering subsequent solutions, and offering a glimpse into a potential future. In light of the its uneven course during its years of formation, expansion, and consolidation while currently faced with systemic threats, the EU requires fundamental reforms to remain relevant in an increasingly globalized international system. * Choice *","brand":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49535545540951,"sku":"9781784784218","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781784784218.jpg?v=1731898586"},{"product_id":"economic-migrants-in-international-law-and-policy-selected-issues-and-challenges-9783832547615","title":"Economic Migrants in International Law and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49539422552407,"sku":"9783832547615","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/public-international-law-international-organizations-and-institutions.oembed?page=4","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
