Threats of Force: International Law and Strategy: Routledge Research in International Law

Autor Francis Grimal
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 sep 2014
Despite recent attempts by scholars to examine the absolute prohibition of threats of force under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, threats remain a largely un-chartered area in international law when compared with actual uses of force. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach and utilising strategic literature and international relations theory, this book examines the theoretical nature behind a threat of force, which, helps to inform and explain why and how the normative structure operates in the way that it does. In addition to considering the normative rules regarding threats of force, this book focuses heavily on understanding the theory of threats of force or "threat theory". Drawing on strategic studies for an insight into practical workings of international law, the heart of the book examines whether international law, or indeed the international community, should distinguish between a threat of force which is little more than mere "sabre rattling" and one that is serious enough to send a state to DEFCON 1. Finally, the book considers the point at which a state pursuing nuclear capabilities may breach Article 2(4) with particular reference to both North Korean and Iranian efforts to pursue nuclear technology.
This topical book will be of great interest not only to scholars and postgraduates in international law but also to academics and students in the fields of political science, international relations and strategic studies.

Recenzii

‘Dr Grimal is to be commended for a thought-provoking and scholarly contribution to the debate’ - Peter Slinn for The Denning Law Journal (2013, Vol 25, pp 263-264 )
'The author’s analysis is comprehensive, his approach is solid and his attempt to (re)define the concept of threats of force is admirably well grounded in practical examples and a broad theoretical base.' - Karen Hulme for the Netherlands International Law Review (Vol 60, Issue 3, December 2013)

Descriere

Adopting an interdisciplinary approach and drawing on the works of strategic literature and international relations theory, this book examines the theoretical nature behind a threat of force in order to inform and explain why and how the normative structure operates in the way it does. The core of the book addresses whether Article 2(4) is adequately suited to the current international climate and, if not, whether an alternative means of rethinking Article 2(4) would provide a better solution.
