  • The Bumpy Road to a Meaningful International Law of Cyber Attribution

    Open AccessWilliam C BanksARTICLEAJIL Unbound2019

    Attributing computer network intrusions has grown in importance as cyber penetrations across sovereign borders have become commonplace. Although advances in technology and forensics have made machine attribution easier in recent years, identifying states or others responsible for cyber intrusions remains challenging. This essay provides an overview of the attribution problem and its international legal dimensions and argues that states must devel…

  • Soldiers on the Home Front

    William C Banks, STEPHEN DYCUSBOOKSoldiers on the Home Front2016

  • Customary Constraints on the Use of Force

    Open AccessWilliam C Banks, Evan J CriddleARTICLELeiden Journal of International Law2016Cited by: 1References: 9

    This article, prepared for the symposium on ‘The Future of Restrictivist Scholarship on the Use of Force’, examines the current trajectory of restrictivist scholarship in the United States. In contrast to their counterparts in continental Europe, American restrictivists tend to devote less energy to defending narrow constructions of the UN Charter. Instead, they generally focus on legal constraints outside the Charter's text, including customary …

  • Combating Terrorism

    William P Banks, William Banks et al.BOOKCombating Terrorism2008

    Countering terrorism tops the list of America's devilish set of problems. Americans deal with terrorism and the threat of terrorism through enhanced investigative tools in hopes of interdicting terrorism before it strikes; as a law enforcement issue; as a matter for international cooperation and diplomacy; and, as a species of war best fought by the military. These approaches are not mutually exclusive, nor are they exhaustive. Nor have they, or …

The Forum emerges from that symposium entitled The Globa…

  • Troops Defending the Homeland

    William C BanksARTICLETerrorism and Political Violence2002

    The United States has been unique in entrusting law enforcement to civilian forces, at the lowest levels of government in its federal system. Its revolutionary and constitutional heritage likewise led to a sharp separation of civilian and military spheres of government, and to the subordination of the military to civilian authority. Although the domestic deployment of troops has occurred throughout US history, the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 esta…

  • Defense Contingency Budgeting in the Post-Cold-War World

    William C Banks, Jeffrey D StraussmanARTICLEPublic Administration Review1999

    One of the major government reform initiatives in the industrialized democracies in the 1990s has been the new public management. In the United States, the initiative gained considerable attention when a report issued by a commission chaired by Vice President Al Gore endorsed the development of performance-based measures in government. As prescribed by the National Performance Review (NPR, 1993), agencies should be freed from the red tape of deta…

  • Delayed Gratification in Blacks

    Open AccessW Curtis Banks, William C Banks et al.ARTICLEJournal of Black Psychology1983

    Research on the delay of gratification in Blacks was critically reviewed. The methodology typically em ployed to investigate this construct involves offering the individual a choice of obtaining either a small, im mediate reward or a large, delayed reward. Contrary to previous reports, it is argued here that the evidence divides published studies into those demonstrating overall patterns of nonpreference for delayed versus immediate rewards and t…
