Which prisoner reentry programs work? Replicating and extending analyses of three RCTs
On Strachan
The work of Hew Strachan as Chichele Professor of the History of War at Oxford University in 2002–2015 encompassed many distinct aspects, of which three are considered here. First, as co-founder, and then Director, of the notably interdisciplinary Oxford University research programme on the Changing Character of War. Second, as contributor to public and governmental debate, by authoring and editing a wide range of books and other publications on …

Secretary of State Describes Israeli Settlements in the West Bank as “Not Per Se Inconsistent with International Law”
On November 18, 2019, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated that the “establishment of Israeli civilian settlements in the West Bank is not per se inconsistent with international law.” This announcement contrasts with the approach taken by the State Department late in the Obama administration. Although embraced by Israel, the position announced by Pompeo was criticized by Palestinians, Security Council members and other states, who maintain that …

The United Nations and International Security
Friendship in politics, community, populism and liberalism
This response looks first at the authors’ suggestion that friendship is a useful concept for understanding and shaping politics and agrees that it is commonly used, though its meaning is commonly understood as different from the one proposed by the authors. Secondly, it focuses on their argument that friendship could serve as ‘a politics beyond community’, asking if friendship is not more easily understood as a sub-set of community or the means t…
Resistance to Military Occupation
The fiftieth anniversary of Israel's occupation of certain Arab-inhabited territories following its victory in the June 1967 war is a good time to reflect on the question of how international law addresses resistance to military occupation. This issue—and its counterpart, the rights of an occupying power vis-à-vis resistance—has arisen repeatedly in connection with this occupation. It has been at the center of polemical debates involving Israel, …
Civil Resistance in the Arab Spring
This book provides a vivid account and analysis of the role of non-violent resistance in the ‘Arab Spring’—the chain of events in the Middle East and North Africa that erupted in December 2010, leading to the fall of governments from Tunisia to Yemen. It covers not only the early months and years, when civil resistance predominated and was the hallmark of the Arab Spring, but also the prolonged crises that ensued in many countries—for example, th…
Coleridge
This book comprises a freshly composed edition of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1811–12 Lectures on Shakespeare and Milton and 1818–19 Lectures on Shakespeare. Coleridge is a foundational figure in Shakespeare criticism, and remains to this day one of the most incisive and best. The book provides a background context into Coleridge's lectures on Shakespeare, and looks into Coleridge's life and career, giving special attention to his position as a lec…

Lecture 9
It is a known but unexplained phenomenon, that among the ancients statuary rose to such a degree of perfection, as almost to baffle the hope of imitating it, and mingled with despair at excelling it; while painting, at the same period, notwithstanding the admiration bestowed upon the ancient paintings of Apelles by Pliny...
Lecture 5
Among the strange differences between our ancestors and their descendants of latter days is the wide difference between the feelings and language of commentators on great classical works. At the restoration of letters, when men discovered the manuscripts of the great Ancients, as some long hidden treasure, the editors of even the most trivial work were exuberant in phrases of panegyric, and superlatives of praise seemed to be almost their only te…
Lecture 4
Various attempts have been made to arrange the plays of Shakespeare, each according to its priority in time, by proofs derived from external documents. How unsuccessful these attempts have been might easily be shown, both from the widely different results of men, all deeply versed in the black-letter Books, Old Plays, Pamphlets, and Manuscript Records and Catalogues of that age, as also from the fallacious and unsatisfactory Nature of the Facts a…
Civil Resistance in the Arab Spring
Civil resistance, especially in the form of massive peaceful demonstrations, was at the heart of the Arab Spring-the chain of events in the Middle East and North Africa that erupted in December 2010. It won some notable victories: popular movements helped to bring about the fall of authoritarian governments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen. Yet these apparent triumphs of non-violent action were followed by disasters-wars in Syria, anarchy in Li…

Political order and political decay
For one who, in 1989, famously announced the end of history, Francis Fukuyama has shown a remarkable interest in it, and not just for its own sake, but also for history's relevance to the contemporary world. In 2011, his book The origins of political order (Profile Books) an Olympian survey stretching from pre-human times to the French Revolution, showed convincingly that human beings did not start out as isolated individuals who gradually came t…

Terrorism Research
Research on terrorism and counterterrorism draws on many disciplines, including Politics, History, Sociology and Anthropology. Yet there are concerns about scope, methodology, impact, and the level of public debate. An agreed definition of terrorism is unattainable: there should be more focus on particular acts rather than labelling whole movements. The threat of terrorism should be kept in proportion. Understanding its causes, and associated bel…

Prolonged Military Occupation
To what extent are international legal rules formally applicable, and practically relevant, to a prolonged military occupation? The question has assumed prominence because of the exceptional duration of the occupation by Israel of various territories that came under its control in the war of June 5–10, 1967. The situation there has had two classic features of a military occupation: first, a formal system of external control by a force whose prese…
Transformative Military Occupation
Within the existing framework of international law, is it legitimate for an occupying power, in the name of creating the conditions for a more democratic and peaceful state, to introduce fundamental changes in the constitutional, social, economic, and legal order within an occupied territory? This is the central question addressed here. To put it in other ways, is the body of treaty-based international law relating to occupations, some of which i…
Humanitarian war
Humanitarian war' is an oxymoron which may yet become a reality. The recent practice of states, and of the United Nations, has involved major uses of armed force in the name of humanitarianism: especially in northern Iraq, in Somalia and in former Yugoslavia. These humanitarian activities in situations of conflict raise many awkward questions. Two are considered here: I. Is humanitarian involvement in conflicts-in the form of the provision of foo…

More refugees, less asylum
Since the mid-1970s, increases in refugee flows have coincided with a growing unwillingness of states to grant asylum. The resulting transformation of the international refugee regime has an ad hoc character, and is largely about tackling issues in or near the country of origin. States are reluctant to extend their legal obligations, and have not enlarged the formal definition of ‘refugee’ to encompass those fleeing from war, anarchy, destitution…

The crisis in UN peacekeeping
Civil Resistance to Military Coups
If one of the functions of government is to provide for internal and external security, many governments have left themselves and their countries extraordinarily vulnerable in face of the military coup d'etat. There is substantial evidence that civil resistance may offer a means whereby at least some governments particularly those which enjoy a high degree of legitimacy may ward off this threat
The Wonga Coup
Equatorial Guinea is a tiny country roughly the size of the state of Maryland. Humid, jungle covered, and rife with unpleasant diseases, natives call it Devil Island. Its president in 2004, Obiang Nguema, had been accused of cannibalism, belief in witchcraft, mass murder, billiondollar corruption, and general rule by terror. With so little to recommend it, why in March 2004 was Equatorial Guinea the target of a group of salty British, South Afric…
The End of Occupation
Can a military occupation-and all the responsibilities of an occupying power as laid down in the laws of war—end at a single moment in time, and without the actual departure of the foreign military forces involved? This is the core question posed by the planned twin events of 28 June 2004 in Iraq: (1) the assumption of full authority by the sovereign Interim Government of Iraq, and(2) the proclaimed end of the US-led occupation of Iraq that had b…

The ‘war on terror’ in historical perspective
Despite its strengths and electoral appeal, the US doctrine on the ‘war on terror’ takes too little account of the history of the subject. The struggle should be presented, not just as a fight against evil or as a defence of freedom, but also as a fight against tragically erroneous ideas. It should be seen as a means of ensuring that the societies from whence terrorism comes do not succumb to endemic violence. It needs to encompass close aftentio…

The equal application of the laws of war
The ‘equal application’ principle is that in international armed conflicts, the laws of war apply equally to all who are entitled to participate directly in hostilities, irrespective of the justice of their causes. The principle, which depends on maintaining separation between jus ad bellum and jus in bello , faces serious challenges in contemporary armed conflicts and discourses. Some variations of the principle may be inevitable. However, it ha…

Counter-terrorism, armed force and the laws of war
In military operations involving action against terrorists, the relevance of the laws of war, often now called international humanitarian law, is problematical. The US-led ‘war on terror’, especially the use of armed force in Afghanistan, raises three questions. Is the law applicable to such operations? Should it be applied in situations different from what was envisaged in treaties? And are detainees ‘prisoners of war’? A difficulty in applying …
