What law "counts" in international politics? Does any? How are
effective international norms established? This provocative book
introduces a new way of looking at these questions. It shows that
many international standards of acceptable conduct derive far less
from adjudications, statutes, or treaties and far more from what is
found to be acceptable in the conflicts that we today call
international incidents. The contributors demonstrate how law that
counts has been developed, modified, and terminated in a variety of
dramatic international incidents: the Cosmos 954 satellite
accident, the downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007, the Harrods
bombing, the Argentine invasion of the Falklands/Las Malvinas, the
incursions of foreign submarines into Swedish waters, the Soviet
gas pipeline problem, the situation in Lebanon, and the Gulf of
Sidra incident. This volume is a first, experimental effort at
establishing a format for a new and more relevant kind of
international political and legal analysis. Originally published in
1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
