Recognition of Belligerency and the Law of Armed Conflict
Employing a legal historical approach, this book describes the thematic and schematic fundamentals of the doctrine on recognition of belligerency, and analyzes some of the more significant challenges to its application. In doing so, this book seeks to inform debate as to the doctrine's continuity and utility within the modern scheme of the Law of Armed Conflict heralded by the 1949 Geneva Conventions.
International Law and the History of Resource Extraction in Africa
This book investigates the historical economic and legal regimes that legitimated the resource extraction and exploitation of Africa between the 15th and 19th centuries and led to the continent’s trajectory of underdevelopment in the world system. The book interrogates the economic and legal structures that supported European intervention in Africa. It explores the trade and private property rights which were to shape the economic future of the continent, most notably the trade in human beings as legitimate private property by European powers. The book then looks at the techniques used to submerge African sovereignty under European sovereignty during the scramble for territorial control in the 19th century, concluding with the validation of occupation in international law following the 1884-85 Berlin Conference. The book argues that the doctrines of trade and property rights sanctioned by international law led to a trend of African dispossession that set the continent on a path to underdevelopment, with long-reaching consequences. This book will be of interest to researchers and students across law, history, economics, international relations, and African studies.
