Explores the Complex Relationship Between International Law and
Civil War The current rash of civil wars seems to result both from
the vulnerability of so many states to domestic violence and from
the willingness of so many other states to promote or exploit this
vulnerability for reasons of ideological solidarity, political
expansion, national security, or human compassion. Thus, the kind
of civil war that is most important to the maintenance of
international order involves the interplay of interventionary
diplomacy and domestic instability. International lawyers are
deeply divided as to the wisdom of intervention policies, but they
are agreed as to the imperative need for the international
community to concur on rules of conduct that will prevent this
escalation of local conflicts. The International Law of Civil War
is the result of a special project sponsored by The American
Society of International Law, designed to shed light on patterns in
civil war situations and bring into focus the policy problems that
arise from the interplay of domestic violence and external
participation. The book highlights the essential features of
typical civil war situations through six case studies: The American
Civil War, 1861-65 by Quincy Wright International Legal Aspects of
the Civil War in Spain, 1936-39 by Ann Van Wynen Thomas and A. J.
Thomas, Jr. The Algerian Revolution as a Case Study in
International Law by Arnold Fraleigh The Postindependence War in
the Congo, by Donald W. McNemar The Relevance of International Law
to the Internal War in Yemen by Kathryn Boals The Vietnam Struggle
and International Law by P. E. Corbett The case studies are
supplemented by an Introduction by the Editor, Richard A. Falk and
Summary and Interpretation, by Edwin Brown Firmage. Emphasis is
placed on the facts and law of external participation on behalf of
either or both contending factions; the role of international
institutions; the patterns of adherence to the laws of war by the
parties to the conflict; and the patterns of settlement by which
the violence was ended and order restored. Edited by RICHARD A.
FALK, Albert G. Milbank Professor of International Law and
Practice, Emeritus; Professor of Politics and International
Affairs, Emeritus. Six case studies, all of them excellent. John G.
Stoessinger, Foreign Affairs 49 (1970-1971) 755
Nuclear weapons are not a subject of intense public discussion and
debate, but they should be. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were only the
beginning; in recent times, nuclear annihilation at the hands of
rogues and terrorists has become an even greater concern than the
specter of nuclear war between superpowers. In a series of clear,
calm, well-reasoned dialogues, longtime scholars and practitioners
of peace Richard Falk and David Krieger probe key questions about
our nuclear reality and dig beneath the surreal surface tranquility
that has largely surrounded its existence. Although the authors
agree on much, there are many areas where their thoughts diverge,
including their assessment of the value of the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty and of President Obama s level of
commitment to nuclear issues. They put forward new proposals and
explore in the dialogues different ways to move ahead. They contend
that a nuclear-free future is not a subject to be left only to
experts for the so-called experts have brought us to the brink of
the nuclear precipice over and over again. Falk and Krieger believe
that although none of us has the power to bring about global change
alone, together we are immensely powerful powerful enough to
overcome the threats of the Nuclear Age and move us appreciably
along the path to zero. Covers questions about living in the
Nuclear Age including: How have we responded (or failed to respond)
to these immensely powerful weapons? Are we capable of escaping
their threat? Can civilization make the leap to survival in a world
with thousands of nuclear weapons? Will humankind become the victim
of its own cleverness? Will we recognize the nuclear dilemma that
confronts us in the 21st century? Will we be able also to recognize
our power, when acting together, to be a force for change? Will we
act soon enough and forcefully enough to assure civilization s
survival?"

This anthology discusses the war system and provides a rigorous
social science approach that is sensitive to values. It premises
the etiology of war on a complex reality that builds understanding
by investigating all major structural and behavioral variables of
the human situation.
There is an important debate raging about whether Iraq is becoming
another Vietnam. Those who deny the similarities most vociferously
are often those who know (or remember) the least about Vietnam.
Kenneth Campbell knows Vietnam from his thirteen months of fighting
there (he received a Purple Heart), and years of political
organizing to get the United States out of the war. Here, Campbell
lays out the political process of getting into, sinking deeper,
hitting bottom, and finally pulling out of the Vietnam quagmire. He
traces the chief lessons of Vietnam, which helped the United States
successfully avoid quagmires for thirty years, and explains how
neoconservatives within the Bush administration cynically used the
tragedy of 9/11 to override the "Vietnam syndrome" and drag the
nation into a new quagmire in Iraq. In view of where the United
States finds itself today-unable to stay but unable to
leave-Campbell recommends that the country rededicate itself to the
essential lessons of Vietnam: the danger of imperial arrogance, the
limits of military force, the importance of international and
constitutional law, and the power of morality.

An interdisciplinary study of this nature and scope reflects
contributions of many scholars in divene disciplines and fields
concerned with human conflict behavior in general and with human
war-prone behavior in particular. They are too numerous to
enumerate here. Still, our deep gratitude goes to those scholars
whose writings have been incorporated in this volume as "sample
representatives" of what their particular disciplines can
contribute to the study of war.

Borders are being erased; democracy and capitalism are spreading. The world is rapidly changing, and these changes are opening the door for the promotion of human rughts to become an integral part of worldwide politics and law. Thoughtful and very accessibly written, Human Rights Horizons clearly presents a path to an original new humanitarian policy for the 21st century.
International lawyers and distinguished scholars consider the
question: Is it legally justifiable to treat the Vietnam War as a
civil war or as a peculiar modern species of international law?

The eleven contributors to this volume come to grips with the hard
realities of controlling war in our modern, interrelated world. All
of them deal directly with the role of law in the management of
conflict. From Cyril E. Black's introductory chapter, "Conflict
Management and World Order," to Richard J. Barnet's concluding
chapter, "Toward the Control of International Violence: The Limits
and the Possibilities of Law," each expert moves from analysis of
some immediate problem of international legal control to the direct
application of law to war. The contributors include Tom J. Farer,
Rosalyn Higgins, John Norton Moore, Daniel Wiles, William B. Bader,
Arnold Kramish, Mason Willrich, W. Michael Reisman, and Harold
Feiveson. Conflict Management is the third volume in a large-scale
collaborative research project intended to focus the attention of
international lawyers and social scientists on the near future of
the international legal order. A brochure describing the entire
series is available. Cyril E. Black is Duke Professor of Russian

Neutralization is a technique for the management of power in
international relations: for the restraint and, to a degree,
regulation of the exercise of power in areas that become focal
points of competitive struggle. In this volume four leading
scholars assess the potential uses of neutralization in the
contemporary world. In interlocking essays the authors discuss the
functions of neutralization, relevant historical precedents,
preconditions for its establishment, methods of negotiating
neutralization, maintenance of neutralization, and the prospects
for neutralization in Southeast Asia today. Originally published in

Professor Myres S. McDougal of the Yale Law School calls this
examination of the relation of law and violence in contemporary
international society "...a profound, perceptive, and eloquent
contribution to the most important problem of our time." Professor
Falk places great emphasis on two distinctive challenges to world
order--nuclear weapons and civil strife. While developing the
implication that even the most powerful states are vulnerable to
destruction trhough nuclear attack, he also points out that there
is no very firm hope that military power cna be managed so as to
reduce the predominance of the sovereign state in world politics.

The risks of arms control and disarmament, how they can be reduced
or eliminated, and the political implications of drastic
disarmament are analyzed by eleven experts. Emphasis is placed on
the development of techniques for disarming that are politically
feasible and give reasonable assurance to each side that the other
is not violating its obligations for any serious reason. Three
major aspects of the problem are considered: how to get the
disarmament process started, and once started to continue it how to
retain the freedom of diplomatic action that might be needed to
defend national interests; and how to approach the problems of
political security in a fully disarmed world. Originally published

Issues of the war that have provoked public controversy and legal
debate over the last two years--the Cambodian invasion of May-June
1970, the disclosure in November 1969 of the My Lai massacre, and
the question of war crimes--are the focus of Volume 3. As in the
previous volumes, the Civil War Panel of the American Society of
International Law has endeavored to select the most significant
legal writing on the subject and to provide, to the extent
possible, a balanced presentation of opposing points of view. Parts
I and II deal directly with the Cambodian, My Lai, and war crimes
debates. Related questions are treated in the rest of the volume:
constitutional debate on the war; the distribution of functions
among coordinate branches of the government; the legal status of
the insurgent regime in the struggle for control of South Vietnam;
prospects for settlement without a clear-cut victory; and Vietnam's
role in general world order. The articles reflect the views of some
forty contributors: among them, Jean Lacouture, Henry Kissinger,
John Norton Moore, Quincy Wright, William H. Rhenquist, and Richard
A. Falk. Originally published in 1972. The Princeton Legacy Library

The issues of conflict management treated in this volume are
relatively recent consequences of the scientific and technological
revolution, and are in significant respects unprecedented in man's
history: food distribution, population, ocean resources, air and
water pollution. Such new global problems cannot be adequately
solved except by international effort--effort that requires
adjustments in the present international system. What adjustments
arc practicable, and at least minimally necessary, are assessed by
seventeen lawyers and specialists in international affairs. They
approach the subject from two perspectives: the international legal
aspects of man in his environment; and the institutions, agencies,
and movements that must be further adapted to the rapidly changing
needs of mankind. Contributors: Harold Lasswell, Mary Ellen
Caldwell, Dennis Livingston, Howard J. and Rita F. Taubenfeld,
L.F.E. Goldie. Leon Gordenker, John Carey, Hans Baade, Gidon
Gotlieb, Richard B. Lillich, Joseph Nye, Donald McNemar, James
