Modern states' authority claims and their exercise of power and sovereignty span a spectrum: from the most stringently and explicitly codified - the constitutional level - to the most fluid and turbulent acts of war. This book investigates both these individual extremes and also their relationship. Using Arthur Ripstein's recent work 'Kant and the Law of War' as a focal point, it explores this connection through the lens of the (just) war theory and its relationship to the law UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197519103.001.0001 ER -
