In The Costs of War: International Law, the UN, and World Order
After Iraq, Richard Falk, brings together some of his recent
essays, published and unpublished, examining the impact that the
Iraq War has had and will have on international law, human rights,
and democracy.
A new introduction provides an overview as well as a sense of
the current context and reflects on the internal prospects for Iraq
and on the logic of an early U.S. military and political
withdrawal.
Having been revised and updated to take account of the march of
events, the essays are organized into the following sections:
- Part 1 addresses the effects of the American invasion and
occupation of Iraq on the current dimensions of world order
- Part 2 provides a normative inquiry into the larger intentions
and consequences of the Iraq War
- Part 3 considers the more fundamental implications of the Iraq
War, especially on our understanding of war as an instrument for
the solution of conflict.
Falk demonstrates the dysfunctionality of war in relation to
either anti-terrorism or the pursuit of a global security system
based on military dominance; the historical potential of a
realistic Gandhiism as a positive alternative in the setting of
global policy in the twenty-first century.
The Costs of War will be of interest to students and scholars of
political science, media studies, and politics and international
relations in general.
