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
Henderson, ChristianFarnham, Surrey, England ; Burlington, VT : Ashgate Pub., c2010.This book provides a comprehensive and dispassionate empirical analysis and assessment of the discernible impact that the US has had upon the jus ad bellum in the post-Cold War era.
