Amherst series in law, jurisprudence, and social thought.

This work explores the cultural, historical, spatial, and theoretical dimensions of the relationship between law and war - a connection that has long vexed the jurisprudential imagination. Law has emerged as a force that stands over and above war, endowed with the power to authorise and restrain, to declare and limit, to justify and condemn.
