In Unbound in War?, Sean Richmond examines the influence and
interpretation of international law in the use of force by two
important but understudied countries, Canada and Britain, during
two of the most significant conflicts since 1945, namely the Korean
War and the Afghanistan Conflict. Through innovative application of
sociological theories in International Relations (IR) and
International Law (IL), and rigorous qualitative analysis of
declassified documents and original interviews, the book advances a
two-pronged argument. First, contrary to what some dominant IR
perspectives might predict, international law can play four
underappreciated roles when states use force. It helps constitute
identity, regulate behaviour, legitimate certain actions, and
structure the development of new rules. However, contrary to what
many IL approaches might predict, it is unclear whether these
effects are ultimately attributable to an obligatory quality in
law. This ground-breaking argument promises to advance
interdisciplinary debates and policy discussions in both IR and IL.
