Vattel's International Law from a XXIst Century Perspective / Le Droit International de Vattel vu du XXIe Siècle
Author: Vincent ChetailPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004194649
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 461
Book Description
No other scholar has so deeply influenced the development of international law or shaped the doctrinal debates as Vattel. More than 250 years after its publication, his Law of Nations has remained the most frequently quoted treatise of international law. Vattel's International Law from a XXIst Century Perspective explores the reasons behind the extraordinary authority of Vattel and analyses its continuing relevance for thinking and understanding contemporary international law. It gathers the contributions from well-known experts of international law and history for the purpose of evaluating the Law of Nations from a XXIst century perspective. The multiple facets of Vattel’s thinking are apprehended through a wide-ranging and comprehensive analysis respectively devoted to the international system, the sources of international law, the subjects of international law, the law of peace, and the law of war.

The Moral Dilemmas of Fighting Terrorism and Guerrilla Groups
Author: Jean-François CaronPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110757567
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
The Moral Dilemmas of Fighting Terrorism and Guerrilla Groups discusses the most important ethical dilemmas associated with the fight against terrorist organizations and guerilla groups by providing readers with a rigorous, yet accessible analysis of how these forms of violence can be justified and how they ought to be fought by entities targeted by groups resorting to these strategies. It will be valuable to anyone interested in understanding the main ethical questions associated with these forms of political violence and the way they can be addressed. After providing conceptual clarifications that will allow the reader to distinguish between terrorism and guerrilla warfare, it explains and discusses what the criteria are that can justify resorting to lethal violence on the part of the latter group as well as the criteria that can determine the identity of those who can legitimately be targeted by these groups. The book analyzes when terrorists ought to be targeted and how this can be done, focusing on the inherent problems associated with the solutions that are normally used against state actors in order to prevent attacks on their part, namely what can be coined as “non-violent alternatives to war”, such as economic or diplomatic sanctions, arm embargoes and non-violent resistance and, on the other hand, preemptive attacks.
L'idée de guerre juste
Author: Monique Canto-SperberPublisher: Presses Universitaires de France - PUF
ISBN: 9782130584735
Category : Just war doctrine
Languages : fr
Pages : 123
Book Description
Comment définir la guerre juste ? En quelles circonstances, pour quels objectifs est-il possible de justifier le recours à la guerre ? Depuis l'Antiquité, où la guerre était considérée comme le produit naturel des interactions humaines, jusqu'aujourd'hui, où l'usage de la force est strictement limité par les juridictions internationales, la réflexion est ininterrompue sur la justice de la guerre. La guerre juste est-elle la guerre nécessaire, soumise à des contraintes dans les motifs et les moyens, ou une forme inédite de guerre morale visant à promouvoir un certain état du monde ? Ce livre plaide pour définir la justice de la guerre à partir de critères hérités de la tradition de la guerre juste mais révisés de façon à faire droit à une forme irréductible d'ambiguïté morale.

A Bibliographical Guide to the Study of Troubadours and Old Occitan Literature
Author: Robert A TaylorPublisher: Medieval Institute Publications
ISBN: 1580442080
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 594
Book Description
Although it seemed in the mid-1970s that the study of the troubadours and of Occitan literature had reached a sort of zenith, it has since become apparent that this moment was merely a plateau from which an intensive renewal was being launched. In this new bibliographic guide to Occitan and troubadour literature, Robert Taylor provides a definitive survey of the field of Occitan literary studies - from the earliest enigmatic texts to the fifteenth-century works of Occitano-Catalan poet Jordi de Sant Jordi - and treats over two thousand recent books and articles with full annotations. Taylor includes articles on related topics such as practical approaches to the language of the troubadours and the musicology of select troubadour songs, as well as articles situated within sociology, religious history, critical methodology, and psychoanalytical analysis. Each listing offers descriptive comments on the scholarly contribution of each source to Occitan literature, with remarks on striking or controversial content, and numerous cross-references that identify complementary studies and differing opinions. Taylor's painstaking attention to detail and broad knowledge of the field ensure that this guide will become the essential source for Occitan literary studies worldwide.
