'If, as I believe, there is no more important task in international
relations in the 21st century than re-joining the imperatives of
strategy with the legitimating structures of law, then Defending
the West is a very important work indeed. Rich and accessible,
it charts the way forward.'
-- Philip Bobbitt, A.W. Walker Centennial Chair in
Law
'A provocative case for extending the concept of self-defence in
international relations to include pre-emptive armed action. Based
on a reasoned argument about the changed global security situation,
it deserves attention even those who are sceptical of Western
military action.'
-- Martin Shaw, University of Sussex
