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事件後威脅環境的根本變化以及無人機所帶來的新能力，對以往關於使用武力的合法框架造成了壓力。這導致了西方盟國在如何應對無人機所引發的使用武力的法律和作戰創新方面出現了明確和未明確的分歧。本書聚焦於英國、法國和德國對這些發展的回應，並將其置於美國對使用武力的變化背景下。作為國際法和政治的交叉點，本書是第一次嘗試探討技術創新、法律合理化和盟國政治在使用武裝無人機方面的相互作用。
