Democracies at War Against Terrorism. A Comparative Perspective, edited by Samy Cohen

Democracies face difficulty in conducting asymmetric warfare in highly populated areas without violating international humanitarian law. On numerous occasions, democratic nations have been singled out by human rights NGOs for the brutality of their modus operandi, for their inadequate attention to the protection of civilian populations, and for acts of abuse or torture of prisoners. Why do they perpetrate these violations? Do they do so intentionally or unintentionally? Can democracies combat irregular armed groups without violating international law? When their population is under threat, do they behave as non-democracies would? Does this type of war inevitably produce war crimes?

This series focuses on the transformation of the international system, from the standpoint of International Relations and Political Economy, at a time when the role of the State is undergoing profound re-examination and change. Forces such as regionalization, financial, commercial and also cultural globalization, and transnational flows in general are reshaping international relations and the global political economy. The series therefore places emphasis on new issues which international and transnational organizations are dealing with.
