This book provides a critical and comprehensive analysis of the reconceptualization of preventive warfare in the 21st Century. It discusses how the US launched and fought some wars to prevent future vague threats and how that practice has fundamentally undermined the legal system and the main principles of the use of force, in ways that not only further US dominance but shield powerful actors from accountability. The US redefined key legal concepts to set up a new legal framework for preventive warfare and, consequently, introduced new practices for carrying out preventive military operations.
Drawing on a collection of case studies, on the changes in the jus ad bellum and jus in bello, focusing mainly on Afghanistan and Iraq and beyond, the book shows how violations of the law of war were persistently conducted in the 21st century by supposedly democratic countries who claimed to be upholding the law. It explores three types of preventive warfare - that is, preventive national self-defense, preventive on-the-spot reactions, and preventive "security" detention - to show how they blurred the line between civilians and legitimate military targets, and thus increased the risk of causing harm to civilians. The book speaks to students, scholars, and practitioners from the fields of criminology, law, international relations, political science, critical security studies, and critical military studies.
Vasja Badalič is a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Criminology at the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana, Slovenia. His primary fields of research are contemporary imperialism and migration. He is the author of four books, including The War Against Civilians: Victims of the "War on Terror" in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Before entering the academic sector, Badalič worked as a freelance journalist, reporting for the Slovenian news media from the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, and Latin America.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書對21世紀預防性戰爭的重新概念化提供了批判性和全面性的分析。它討論了美國如何發動和參與一些戰爭,以防止未來模糊的威脅,以及這種做法如何根本性地破壞了法律體系和使用武力的主要原則,這不僅進一步加強了美國的主導地位,還使強大的行為者免於負責。美國重新定義了關鍵法律概念,以建立一個新的預防性戰爭法律框架,並因此引入了執行預防性軍事行動的新做法。
本書基於一系列案例研究,探討了jus ad bellum和jus in bello的變化,主要集中在阿富汗和伊拉克及其他地區,顯示出所謂的民主國家在21世紀持續違反戰爭法,這些國家聲稱自己在維護法律。它探討了三種類型的預防性戰爭,即預防性國家自衛、預防性即時反應和預防性「安全」拘留,顯示這些行為模糊了平民和合法軍事目標之間的界線,從而增加了對平民造成傷害的風險。本書針對來自犯罪學、法律、國際關係、政治學、批判性安全研究和批判性軍事研究等領域的學生、學者和實務工作者。
