Description
The West's security challenges are complex and multifaceted. In this thought-provoking book, James Gow argues for a radical re-interpretation of self-defence within international law and politics. Threats to peace and security abound, from terrorism and nuclear proliferation to environmental degradation and disease. The need to defend the West is pressing, yet it cannot be undertaken unilaterally or outside the law. Instead, pre-emptive action must be taken in partnership with others and within a framework of legitimacy. Gow's call for reform offers a fresh perspective on how to address these challenges and ensure the security of the West.
