商品描述
The central argument set out in this Element is that the combination of a perceived radical change in the threat environment post 9/11, and the new capabilities afforded by the long silent reach of the drone, have put pressure on the previously accepted legal frameworks justifying the use of force. This has resulted in disagreements - both articulated and unarticulated - in how the Western allies should respond to both the legal and operational innovations in the use of force that drones have catalysed. The Element focuses on the responses of the UK, France, and Germany to these developments in the context of the changing US approach to the use of force. Locating itself at the interface of international law and politics, this is the first attempt to look at the interplay between technological innovations, legal justifications, and inter-alliance politics in the context of the use of armed drones.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書的核心論點是，911事件後威脅環境被認為發生了根本性的變化，再加上無人機的長程隱蔽能力所帶來的新能力，這對先前被接受的合法框架以合理使用武力的理由造成了壓力。這導致了西方盟友在如何應對無人機在武力使用方面引發的法律和作戰創新方面的分歧，無論是明確表達還是未明確表達的分歧。本書聚焦於英國、法國和德國對這些發展的回應，並將其置於美國武力使用方式變化的背景下。作為國際法和政治的交叉點，這是首次嘗試探討在武裝無人機使用背景下，技術創新、法律理據和盟友間政治互動之間的相互作用。
