The Persistent Advocate and the Use of Force: The Impact of the United States upon the Jus ad Bellum in the Post-Cold War Era
This output emerged from what was originally a PhD thesis. Extensive modifications were required to convert it into a monograph, with final submission for publication in 2010. In particular, the original thesis drew upon a considerable amount of data from UN Security Council meeting reports which then required substantial effort to make the research findings more digestible for publication. Furthermore, the book examines the impact of the ‘persistent advocate’ across several branches of the jus ad bellum, as opposed to solely, e.g. the law of self-defence, which ultimately led to a publication of significant intellectual scope.
