Can democracy and human rights be imposed "by fire and sword"? Influential intellectuals, lawyers, and politicians from Canada, the U.S., and Europe, including Leo Panitch, Sam Gindin, Reg Whitaker, Jurgen Habermas, Andrew Arato and Samir Amin, examine the impact that the doctrine of pre-emptive war has had on international law and human rights, and its implications for the future of global justice and the rule of law. Charting new ways forward, and drawing on a variety of legal and political arguments, the contributors provide a wide-ranging analysis that will be useful to anyone with an interest in imperialism and international law.
Amy Bartholomew is Associate Professor of Law at Carleton University. In April 2004, she was called as an expert witness at the World Tribunal on Iraq. She is the co-editor of several volumes on legal studies.
