Unintended Consequences in the Regulation of Armed Conflict

This study adds much valuable material to the literature on international humanitarian law and on the efficacy of jus ad bellum and jus in bello, particularly in its exploration of whether, and why, states follow the formalities when it comes to armed conflict. Fazal's overview, analysis, and synthesis of the existing literature and quantitative databases on these questions will be immensely useful to students and scholars in this area.

You know what states rarely do nowadays? Issue formal declarations of war. You know why? Of course you don’t, because you’re not Tanisha Fazal, who knows more about the laws of war than you do. So you should read her book.

Intriguing.... Skillfully blends quantitative and qualitative methods to produce something genuinely original.

Fazal brings this analysis to bear on contemporary IHL (International Humanitarian Law) policy issues and vexing questions, such as those about autonomous weapons, cyberwar, and rebel behavior in civil conflicts. Highly recommended for university libraries and collections specializing in international law and politics, security, peace and conflict studies, and defense policy.

A landmark work on international politics and the law of armed conflicts, Wars of Law belongs on the bookshelf beside such major works as Michael Walzer's Just and Unjust Wars, David Kennedy's Of War and Law, James Morrow's Order Within Anarchy, and Sandesh Sivakumaran's The Law of Non-International Armed Conflict. Wars of Law marks an important departure from previous understandings of how warring parties follow or do not follow rules by highlighting the growing divide between law-makers and law-takers. This book stands as a good guideline for our future course of action.
