Wars, Laws, Rights and the Making of Global Insecurities

More about the book

Focusing on the intricate relationships between war, international law, and human rights, this analysis challenges traditional views that see war merely as a problem to be solved. It critiques how international law is employed to address political violence while situating human rights within the broader modernist project, especially in the Anthropocene era. Drawing on the theories of Foucault, Bourdieu, and Latour, the book reveals the insecurities created by the interplay of war, law, and rights for both humanity and other life forms.
