The persistent advocate and the use of force

[The Persistent Advocate and the Use of Force] provides a comprehensive, dispassionate empirical analysis and assessment of the discernible impact that the US has had upon the jus ad bellum in the post-Cold War era. It offers a much needed examination of one of the most controversial issues of international law in recent times and will be of key interest to scholars and practitioners of legal and political studies.--P.
