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? Do the Geneva Conventions
Matter? provides a rich, comparative analysis of the laws that
govern warfare and a more specific investigation relating to state
practice. Matthew Evangelista and Nina Tannenwald 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. Thoroughly
researched, this work adds to the law and society literature in
sociology, the constructivist literature in international
relations, and legal scholarship on "internalization." Do the
Geneva Conventions Matter? gives insight into how the Geneva regime
has constrained guerrilla warfare and terrorism and the factors
that affect protect human rights in wartime.
