This book seeks to demonstrate how rules not only guide a
variety of practices within international politics but also
contribute to the chaos and tension on the part of agents in light
of the structures they sustain. Four central themes- practice,
legitimacy, regulation, and responsibility- reflect different
dimensions of a rule governed political order. The volume does not
provide a single new set of rules for governing an increasingly
chaotic international system. Instead, it provides reflections upon
the way in which rules can and cannot deal with practices of
violence. While many assume that "obeying the rules" will bring
more peaceful outcomes, the chapters in this volume demonstrate
that this may occur in some cases, but more often than not the very
nature of a rule governed order will create tensions and stresses
that require a constant attention to underlying political
dynamics.
This wide-ranging volume will be of great interest to students
of International Law, International Security and IR theory.
