{"product_id":"international-law-and-new-wars-christine-chinkin-9781316622094","title":"International Law and New Wars","description":"International Law and New Wars examines how international law fails to address the contemporary experience of what are known as 'new wars' - instances of armed conflict and violence in places such as Syria, Ukraine, Libya, Mali, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan. International law, largely constructed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, rests to a great extent on the outmoded concept of war drawn from European experience - inter-state clashes involving battles between regular and identifiable armed forces. The book shows how different approaches are associated with different interpretations of international law, and, in some cases, this has dangerously weakened the legal restraints on war established after 1945. It puts forward a practical case for what it defines as second generation human security and the implications this carries for international law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Chinkin, Mary Kaldor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316622096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316622094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.24w x 1.25d","brand":"Christine Chinkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924838547711,"sku":"9781316622094","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4c639290-931f-4f97-b8af-b3f25cc44b86.jpg?v=1681073769","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/international-law-and-new-wars-christine-chinkin-9781316622094","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
