"The Geneva Conventions are the best-known and longest-established laws governing
warfare, but what difference do they make to how states engage in armed conflict?
Since the start of the 'War on Terror' with 9/11, these protocols have increasingly
been incorporated into public discussion. We have entered an era where contemporary
wars often involve terrorism and guerrilla tactics, but how have the rules that were
designed for more conventional forms of interstate violence adjusted? [This book analyzes]
the laws that govern warfare and a more specific investigation relating to state practice.
[The authors] convey the extent and conditions that symbolic or 'ritual' compliance
translates into actual compliance on the battlefield by looking at important studies
across history. To name a few, they navigate through the Algerian War for independence
from France in the 1950s and 1960s; the US wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan;
Iranian and Israeli approaches to the laws of war; and the legal obligations of private
security firms and peacekeeping forces. [This] work adds to the law and society literature
in sociology, the constructivist literature in international relations, and legal
scholarship on 'internalization.' [This book] gives insight into how the Geneva regime
has constrained guerrilla warfare and terrorism and the factors that affect protect
human rights in wartime."
