The Limitations of the Law of Armed Conflicts: New Means and Methods of Warfare
In the law of armed conflicts, one of the elements that has changed the most has been the means and methods of warfare. Yet there are few legal answers for the many questions these changes pose. This volume, therefore, seeks to identify the limitations of current international law on this double plane, the means and methods of combat, and to offer insights about how to address them. Topics include the use of nuclear energy, which without being a weapon, can have the same effect as one, chemical and biological weapons, autonomous artificial intelligence weapons, and biobots. Similarly, fake news, the hostile use of cyberspace, lawfare, the use of big data, terrorism as a combat method, premeditated poisoning, sexual humiliation, the impact of such news on the armed forces and the reorganization needed to face the new scenarios are all situations not contemplated in classical law and which require new legal and operational responses.
Trafficking Data
In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas shows how US corporations' influence on tech regulation paved the way for exploitative data gathering, not just by US corporations, but by Chinese corporations as well. To resolve this issue in the US requires changing foundational values not just in the tech ecosystem, but in the relationship between industry and government in the United States.
Military Ethics and the Changing Nature of Warfare
If war is a timeless reality of mankind, the ways and means whereby it is conducted have nonetheless evolved over time due to new technologies and innovative military strategies. For the most part, however, they have not challenged the ethical rules of warfare. The rapid rise in the use of automated weapons, the growing popularity of remotely controlled weapons, the development in soldiers’ enhancement technologies, of hybrid warfare and the impact of gender equality are all posing tremendous moral challenges affecting the traditional warrior ethos, the justification of killing and criminal responsibility. This begs the question: to what degree are the ways and means of modern warfare keeping pace with the current technological evolutions and societal values? Based upon a selection of presentations made at the 2022 annual conference of the International Society for Military Ethics in Europe (Euroisme), this book contains a variety of reflections on this question.
Global Challenges in the Arctic Region
Bringing together interconnected discussions to make explicit the complexity of the Arctic region, this book offers a legal discussion of the ongoing territorial disputes and challenges in order to frame their impact into the viability of different governance strategies that are available at the national, regional and international level. One of the intrinsic features of the region is the difficulty in the determination of boundaries, responsibilities and interests. Against this background, sovereignty issues are intertwined with environmental and geopolitical issues that ultimately affect global strategic balances and international trade and, at the same time, influence national approaches ...
Amenazas pasadas presentes y futuras
El objetivo de esta obra es analizar qué es la guerra asimétrica y qué formas adopta esta, y cómo pueden afectar a la seguridad de la sociedad internacional actual. Esta peculiaridad hace que el libro cuente con un potencial proyección tanto internacional como nacional, porque la guerra convencional ya ha dado paso a la guerra asimétrica.
Una revolución de las almas
El choque entre Occidente y Oriente Medio es un problema de elevada complejidad que no sólo afecta al “espíritu de la época” en la manifestación de conflictos bélicos, inestabilidad macroeconómica, flujos migratorios, crisis y transiciones energéticas, reorganización política mundial, resurgimiento de posiciones ideológicas extremistas y fundamentalismos religiosos. También pone de relieve la necesidad de revisar el concepto humano de “conciencia”. Hashim Cabrera, intelectual de referencia en el debate del estado contemporáneo del Islam, desarrolla en este ensayo una profunda reflexión antropológica y sociológica en torno a todas estas cuestiones dirigidas por una rigu...
El Ciberconflicto: nuevos desafíos para el derecho internacional humanitario
El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar algunos retos que enfrenta el Derecho Internacional Humanitario, dado el protagonismo que ha alcanzado un reciente espacio de interacción humana: el ciberespacio. Así pues, se busca resaltar los vacíos que existen en esta rama del Derecho Internacional para afrontar las nuevas formas de conflictividad y el uso de armas cibernéticas, y se intenta recuperar el valor de los principios que la inspiran, guiados por el estudio de los casos de Georgia e Irán.
El obispo Anselmo Gómez de la Torre y la sillería del coro de la catedral de Tui (1689-1720)
Anselmo Gómez de la Torre accede a la Mitra tudense tras una vida consagrada a la Orden benedictina. Entre 1689 y 1720 emprende una intensa actividad de patronazgo artístico, ya sea como promotor o en su condición de mecenas del Cabildo catedralicio. Durante su mandato impulsa la reforma arquitectónica y dotación de la capilla de Santa Catalina, convirtiéndola en recinto privativo de su linaje familiar. La inusual generosidad de este prelado posibilita que la basílica pueda despertar de un profundo letargo por medio de la renovación del mobiliario litúrgico y sus programas figurativos. Al amparo de su magnificencia se construyen retablos, las puertas de entrada a la basílica, las c...
How They Rule the World
*The International Bestseller* Is there anything more cut-throat than global politics? Wherever you turn – Europe, Russia, China, Korea, Syria, the Middle East – we are living in a time of global geopolitical power plays. Once an insider to this closed world, Pedro Banos reveals that however it might be smoothed over by the PR of political diplomacy, the world of geopolitics is one of war and conflict by strategic means, where countries have sought dominion and power over their rivals since the dawn of time. Banos presents this high-stakes game as a series of 22 universal rules on how to act and exert influence in the international sphere. Each principle is contextualised in both classic...
