Lebow R: Why Nations Still Fight

Why Nations Still Fight

New Perspectives on Classical Topics

China and the World

Addressing both scholars of international law and political science as well as decision makers involved in cybersecurity policy, the book tackles the most important and intricate legal issues that a state faces when considering a reaction to a malicious cyber operation conducted by an adversarial state. While often invoked in political debates and widely analysed in international legal scholarship, self-defence and countermeasures will often remain unavailable to states in situations of cyber emergency due to the pervasive problem of reliable and timely attribution of cyber operations to state actors. Analysing the legal questions surrounding attribution in detail, the book presents the necessity defence as an evidently available alternative. However, the shortcomings of the doctrine as based in customary international law that render it problematic as a remedy for states are examined in-depth. In light of this, the book concludes by outlining a special emergency regime for cyberspace.

Self-Defence, Countermeasures, Necessity, and the Question of Attribution

Unilateral Remedies to Cyber Operations

The epic history of world order, revealing how the decline of the West may be a good thing for its future. Since the dawn of the twenty-first century, the West has been in crisis. Social unrest, political polarization, and the rise of other great powers - especially China - threaten to unravel today's Western-led world order. Many fear this would lead to global chaos. But this is a Western illusion. Surveying five thousand years of global history, political scientist Amitav Acharya reveals that world order existed long before the rise of the West. Moving from ancient Sumer, India, Greece, and Mesoamerica, through medieval caliphates and Eurasian empires into the present, Acharya shows that humanitarian values, economic interdependence, and rules of inter-state conduct emerged across the globe over millennia. History suggests order will endure even as the West retreats. Instead of fearing the future, the West should learn from history and cooperate with the Rest to forge a more equitable order.

The inside story of one of the most successful U.S. foreign aid programs in the Middle East in recent decades “An amazing story!&nbsp;A Daring Enterprise&nbsp;is a vivid account of the good America can do in the world if we’re faithful to our values.”—David Ignatius, columnist,&nbsp;Washington Post What happens when the United States launches an unconventional foreign aid program in the aftermath of a national uprising? In this behind-the-scenes account of the Egyptian-American Enterprise Fund—a private investment fund created by the U.S. Congress to jumpstart Egypt’s private sector after the 2011 Egyptian revolution—A Daring Enterprise&nbsp;tells the story of one of the most effective, yet little known, U.S. foreign policy programs today in the Middle East. Through the firsthand account of the Fund’s chairman James Harmon, a veteran investment banker and former Clinton administration official, the authors reveal how a small, U.S.-backed investment fund partnered with Egyptians to spark investment, create jobs, and expand opportunities for women in the Arab world’s largest country—all against a backdrop of political instability, anti-Americanism, and Washington dysfunction. At a time when America’s budget deficit is rising and foreign aid is being scaled back,&nbsp;A Daring Enterprise&nbsp;reveals how a new model of foreign assistance can tackle urgent development challenges while delivering real returns for U.S. taxpayers. Most importantly, it is a powerful reminder of the value of foreign aid and why smart foreign investment is key to America’s future prosperity.

The Rise of Qatar in Conflict Mediation

Gulf to Global

This book re-examines the origins and development of the laws of war and human rights law and exposes an overlooked provision of the European Convention on Human Rights which permits the use of lethal force where absolutely necessary to quell an insurrection. When civilian casualties occur in internal armed conflicts, questions are asked about how civilians can be better protected against the use of force by armed insurgents and state security forces. The laws of war include protection against the targeting of civilians but permit the use of force based on 'military necessity' and allow 'proportionate' civilian casualties. Where those laws do not apply, the use of force is generally seen as being limited to self-defence. This creates paradigms of armed conflict and law-enforcement with very different rules. The paradigms are then treated by governments and other actors as being separate and divided by a threshold of violence, when, in practice, they overlap, both in the conduct of military operations and, this book argues, as a matter of law. Revisiting the law provides the opportunity to reassess the benefits and risks of the existing paradigms and consider how applying the provision permitting the use of lethal force in quelling an insurrection would affect them. The book concludes that it offers a middle way based on the existing law, but it requires wider recognition and development in order to achieve a more appropriate balance between human rights and collective security.

This book challenges traditional legal approaches to military operations in internal armed conflicts based on the laws of war.

Global Law and Sustainable Development

Given the significant developments in Indian economic and trade policymaking over the last two decades, this book provides an authoritative and timely analysis of the transformation and current state of India's foreign economic policy. The work presents a comprehensive, informed and critical overview of negotiating issues addressed in the recent period leading up to the substantial conclusion of the Trade Facilitation Agreement. The volume also takes into account the geopolitical considerations that influenced the negotiations. Finally, the reform steps being taken by India need to be understood in light of the structural changes in the economy, fuelling domestic compulsion, and the analysis covers this undercurrent in detail. The book will be a valuable guide to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of international trade law, development economics and global politics.

Inside the Situation Room

The book analyses the concept and conditions of transnational solidarity, its challenges and opportunities, drawing on diverse disciplines as Law, Political Science, Sociology, Philosophy, Psychology and History. In the contemporary world, we see two major opposing trends. The first involves nationalistic and populistic movements. Transnational solidarity has been under pressure for a decade because of, among others, global economic and migration crises, leading to populistic and authoritarian leadership in some European countries, the United States and Brazil. Countries withdraw from international commitments on climate, trade and refugees and the European Union struggles with Brexit. The second trend, partly a reaction to the first, is a strengthened transnational grass-root community - a cosmopolitan movement - which protests primarily against climate change. Based on interdisciplinary reflections on the concept of transnational solidarity, its challenges and opportunities are analysed, drawing on Europe as a focal case study for a broader, global perspective.

World Scientific Studies in International Economics

This book offers the most comprehensive account to date of how trade, migration, and labor markets have bound the United States and Mexico into one of the world's most deeply integrated economies. It highlights the supply chains that connect factories across borders, the workers whose livelihoods span two nations, and the shared opportunities and vulnerabilities that emerge from this unprecedented level of interdependence.

At the heart of Not Just Neighbors is a clear argument: the US-Mexico relationship is not merely about proximity, but about the making of a single North American economy. Trade flows surpassing those with China, the planet's largest migration corridor, and cross-border industries from autos to agriculture all demonstrate how the fate of the two countries are linked.

Drawing on decades of research, the book explains both the gains of integration - competitiveness, efficiency, shared prosperity - and the challenges it produces, such as inequality, dislocation, and political tensions.

Written in a simple and an accessible manner, Not Just Neighbors is a timely and an essential reading for academics and policymakers, business leaders, and engaged citizens alike. It provides a roadmap for cooperative policies that can turn interdependence into a powerful engine of prosperity and security, while warning of the risks if this partnership is neglected.
