Counterinsurgency or irregular warfare: historiography and the study of 'small wars' / Scheipers, Sibylle

Scheipers, Sibylle	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Publication

2014.

Summary/Abstract

This article argues that the history of irregular warfare provides a valuable analytical and critical perspective for the study of counterinsurgency campaigns and counterinsurgency doctrine. A focus on the history of irregular warfare highlights the close relationship between warfare in Europe and in the colonies. Moreover, it enables us to identify more exactly the intersection of multiple factors that lead to an escalation of violence in small wars. Finally, it also sheds light on the lack of strategic reflection on the use of irregular auxiliaries that is characteristic for many counterinsurgency campaigns.

Publication	2013-14.
Summary/Abstract	The law of armed conflict has often been described as outdated and ill suited to military conflict in the twenty-first century. Both academics and practitioners have argued that today`s wars tend to be asymmetric conflict between states and nonstate actors, whereas the law of armed conflict was made with a view to symmetrical interstates war. This article challenges that notion.

Legal, but Lethal: the Law of Armed Conflict and US Nuclear Strategy / Fetter, Steve; Glaser, Charles

Fetter, Steve	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Starting around a decade or so ago, the law of armed conflict (LOAC) acquired new prominence in the development of US nuclear strategy. This was stimulated in part by a series of major intergovernmental conferences on the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons, which led to a consensus among a group of nations that the use of nuclear weapons would result in catastrophic and unacceptable human suffering and was therefore incompatible with the LOAC.1 This argument has been a key rationale for efforts to prohibit nuclear weapons, including the 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), which as of early 2022 had 86 signatories and 59 states parties.
