Ten years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2011,
Rethinking the Law of Armed Conflict in an Age of Terrorism, edited
by Christopher Ford and Amichai Cohen, brings together a range of
interdisciplinary experts to examine the problematic encounter
between international law and challenges presented by conflicts
between developed states and non-state actors, such as
international terrorist groups. Through examinations of the
counter-terrorist experiences of the United States, Israel, and
Colombia-coupled with legal and historical analyses of trends in
international humanitarian law-the authors place post-9/11 practice
in the context of the international legal community's broader
struggle over the substantive content of international rules
constraining state behavior in irregular wars and explore trends in
the development of these rules. From the beginning of international
efforts to rewrite the laws of armed conflict in the 1970s, the
legal rules to govern irregular conflicts of the
"state-on-nonstate" variety have been contested terrain.
Particularly in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, policymakers,
lawyers, and scholars have debated the merits, relevance, and
applicability of what are said to be competing "war" and "law
enforcement" paradigms of legal constraint-and even the degree to
which international law can be said to apply to counter-terrorist
conflicts at all. Ford & Cohen's volume puts such debates in
historical and analytical context, and offers readers an insight
into where the law has been headed in the fraught years since
September 2001. The contributors provide the reader with differing
perspectives upon these questions, but together their analyses make
clear that law-governed restraint remains a cardinal value in
counter-terrorist war, even as the law stands revealed as being
much more contested and indeterminate than many accounts would have
it. Rethinking the Law of Armed Conflict in an Age of Terrorism
provides an important conceptual framework through which to view
the development of the law as the policy and legal communities move
into the second decade of the "global war on terrorism."

The Advanced Texts series is designed for students taking
advanced-level courses, including upper-level undergraduates and
graduate students. Titles in this series will also be invaluable to
researchers new to a field, and to established researchers as a
basic reference text. Molecular Biology of Cancer, Second Edition,
is now in a larger format and has been extensively revised. It
covers heredity cancer, microarray technology and increased study
of childhood cancers. It continues to provide a detailed overview
of the processes, which lead to the development and proliferation
of cancer cells, as well as the techniques available for their
study. The book also describes the means by which tumor suppressor
genes and oncogenes may be used in the diagnosis and in determining
the prognosis of a wide variety of cancers, including breast,
genitourinary, lung and gastrointestinal cancer.
