Traditions of War examines wars and military occupation, and the
ideas underlying them. The search for these ideas is conducted in
the domain of the laws of war, a body of rules which sought to
regulate the practices of war and those permitted to fight in it.
This work introduces three ideologies: the martial, Grotian, and
republican. These traditions were rooted in incommensurable
conceptions of the good life, and the overall argument is that
these differences lay at the heart of the failure fully to resolve
the distinction between lawful and unlawful combatants at
successive diplomatic conferences of Brussels in 1874, the Hague in
1899 and 1907, and Geneva in 1949. Based on a wide range of sources
and drawing on a plurality of intellectual disciplines, this book
places these diplomatic failures in their broader social and
political contexts, bringing out ideological continuities through
an illustration of the social history of army occupation in Europe
and resistance to it.
