Negotiating Sovereignty and Human Rights: International Society and the International Criminal Court
Unlawful Combatants: A Genealogy of the Irregular Fighter
The book investigates the emergence and the development of irregular fighters, such as guerrillas, rebels, insurgents, and terrorists throughout the history of modern war. It presents a historically-based critique of the twenty-first century notion of the irregular fighter as an 'unlawful combatant'.
Wars in the Colonies
This chapter demonstrates that a large degree of continuity and permeability existed between wars in the core and in the peripheries of the international system with respect to anti-irregular discourses and practices. The colonies were neither the exclusive site of irregular warfare nor were they a testing ground for anti-irregular tactics. Rather, practices and approaches travelled back and forth between Europe and the colonies. However, anti-ir…
Auxiliaries at War in the Middle East
If the West wants to contain or rout the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, it will have to rely on local allies in some way. The history of modern war suggests three ways in which such cooperation has previously been problematic
Unlawful Combatants’: The West's Treatment of Irregular Fighters in the ‘War on Terror’

This article challenges that notion

In the February–March 2009 issue of Survival (‘Closing Guantanamo: Is Europe Ready?’, vol. 51, no. 1, pp. 5–12) Sibylle Scheipers discussed the role of US President Barack Obama's moves to reform the detention system as a step towards renewing close transatlantic ties and facilitating transatlantic cooperation. But she also argued that it poses a difficult challenge to Europeans. Survival invited comments from three distinguished experts, and Sch…
Closing Guantanamo: Is Europe Ready
Normative Power Europe: A Credible Utopia
Studies on the international identity of the EU have stressed the normative feature of European foreign policy. At the same time, scholars have pointed out that the inconsistency between the EU's rhetoric and behaviour and the lack of reflexivity undermines its credibility. How does reflexivity affect collective identity? To what extent does the EU's utopian rhetoric affect its credibility as a normative power? In order to address these questions…
