With its vast hydrocarbon energy reserves, Azerbaijan is a country of particular importance in the South Caucasus. The region’s complex geopolitics have immensely influenced Azerbaijan’s foreign policy strategy. With the dissolution of the USSR, Azerbaijan, as a new state with fragile security, found itself in a complicated situation surrounded by regional powers like Iran, Russia, and Turkey. This book focuses on several major foreign policy issues faced by the Republic of Azerbaijan since it regained its independence in 1991. These major issues include the conflict with Armenia and related matters, the relationship with the West, as well as the complexities arising from its relationship with Russia and its ties to Muslim countries, such as Iran and Saudi Arabia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  Farid Shafiyev   1.

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 *\u003cbr\u003eThe 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 *\u003cbr\u003eIn 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 *\u003cbr\u003eVan 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 *\u003cbr\u003eNothing 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 *\u003cbr\u003eBoyd van Dijk has written a superb political and legal history of the making of the four Geneva Conventions. * Dr. Hugo Slim, University of Oxford *\u003cbr\u003ePreparing 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 *\u003cbr\u003eVan 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 *\u003cbr\u003ePreparing 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 *\u003cbr\u003eBoyd 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 *\u003cbr\u003eBoyd 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 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1: 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","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49369153831255,"sku":"9780198912613","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780198912613.jpg?v=1730128560"},{"product_id":"greening-the-alliance-the-diplomacy-of-natos-science-and-environmental-initiatives-9780226595795","title":"Greening the Alliance  The Diplomacy of NATOs","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400067064151,"sku":"9780226595795","price":30.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226595795.jpg?v=1730469612"},{"product_id":"beyond-versailles-9780253040909","title":"Beyond Versailles","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeyond Versailles\u003c\/em\u003e considers how, in the wake of the Paris Peace Treaties, national and regional leaders sought to remake their states in accordance with international agreements while still responding to local preferences and needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is an excellent collected volume, well-conceived and very well written. . . .

When security pacts go well, they underpin regional and global order; when they fail, they spread wars across continents as states are dragged into conflict.

The book introduces a new social theory of strategic diffusion and emulation, using case studies and advanced statistical analysis of alliances from 1815 to 2003. In the wake of each major war that shatters the international system, a new hegemon creates a core military partnership to target its greatest enemy.

We expect wide variety in security strategies and pact designs. This expectation is wrong. In any year, 75 percent of states pursue identical alliance strategies. Why do countries ignore their individuated conditions and converge on a single dominant alliance strategy? This chapter presents the book's puzzle, describing patterns in alliance design from 1715–2003.\u003c\/p\u003e 2The Theory of Strategic Alliance Diffusion chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter offers a social theory of diffusion to explain the dominant alliance strategy. Major wars shatter the international system. Into this breach, a new hegemon creates a core pact targeting its central security challenge. This partnership becomes the standard for credible and legitimate security policy in the postwar environment. Secondary countries copy its strategy to demonstrate the credibility of their own alliances. Peripheral nations emulate to acquire international status and prestige.\u003c\/p\u003e 3The Diffusion of Alliance Strategy: Systemic Patterns and Evidence chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter uses quantitative analysis to determine that the core alliance systematically produces the dominant strategy. Seven statistical tests probe the theory's causal foundations and mechanisms, providing reinforcing support for the book's argument. The dominant strategy is statistically linked to social proof and validation, credibility concerns, international norms, and legitimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e 4Great Powers and Strategic Constraints: The Bismarckian Era, 1873–1890 chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThe book's first case study demonstrates how the dominant strategy constrains even the great powers' alliance choices. It explores the core European pacts between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia from 1873–1890. These countries repeatedly established alliances to solidify their security relations, and they repeatedly failed. Austria-Hungary prevented Germany from displacing it from the heart of Berlin's alliance strategy. Consequently, these three conservative empires were unable to manage deep, intra-allied disputes. Network constraints prevented the fluid, transactional balancing strategies, contributing to World War I's onset.\u003c\/p\u003e 5Cold War Credibility: NATO, SEATO, and CENTO, 1949–1965 chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThe second case highlights how Middle East and Southeast Asian countries pushed the United States to create NATO-like security institutions in their regions early in the Cold War. These countries evaluated American reliability based on alliance emulation: only strategies matching NATO's design signaled commitment. Washington's refusal to adopt the Atlantic Alliance's strategy in other alliances undermined efforts to demonstrate resolve and consolidate power against the Soviet Union.\u003c\/p\u003e 6Diffusion to the Periphery: Security Cooperation in Southern Africa, 1992–2004 chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThe final case details the role of alliance construction in southern Africa's status-building policy following the Cold War. Suddenly bereft of superpower patronage, these countries viewed NATO and Europe more broadly as the most effective strategy to foster military security and economic development in their region. But southern Africa was politically unsuited to such a strategy, leading states to seize alliance leadership to advance their own unilateral policies. These countries nevertheless continued to model NATO to legitimate their security strategy and foreign policy goals.\u003c\/p\u003e 7The Dominant Strategy and Alliance Failure chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eCopying the dominant strategy reduces the risk of alliance failure by one-third. This chapter leverages statistical methods to link emulation to security behavior. Military partnerships are more reliable and cohesive when they converge on a single, socially accepted standard of credible and legitimate cooperation. Scholars often assume that institutionalization enhances reliability. This chapter demonstrates that such assumption is only true when the core alliance is itself institutionalized. If not, formal coordination can increase the risk of alliance failure by 26.46 percent.\u003c\/p\u003e 8The Dominant Alliance Strategy: Policy Implications and Theoretical Extensions chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis concluding chapter calls for a \"NATO in Asia\" as the only credible demonstration of American commitment to the region against an assertive China.
