This is a book about how international law related to the regulation ofpolitical violence fails to address the contemporary experience of what wecall ‘new wars’ – bouts of armed violence in places such as Syria andUkraine, Mali and Libya, the Democratic Republic of Congo and SouthSudan, to name but a few of these zones of hostilities and insecurity at thetime of writing. Contemporary international law, largely constructed inthe nineteenth and twentieth centuries, rests to a great extent on outmodedconceptions of war drawn from the experience of European wars –inter-state clashes involving battles between regular armed forces, whichwe call ‘old wars’.
