Ahmed
Al-Dawoody. The Islamic law of war : justifications and regulations.
Palgrave Macmillan, 2011. KBP2416.A42
2011 This
book explores the justifications and regulations for going to war in both
international and domestic armed conflicts under Islamic law. Examined are
the various kinds of use of force by both state and non-state actors in order
to determine the nature of jihad, the Islamic law of war, and specifically
whether Islamic law sanctions “holy war,” offensive war, or only defensive
war. It also investigates the permissibility under Islamic law of resorting
to the use of force to overthrow the governing regime and discusses the
Islamic treatment of terrorism and the punishment of terrorists and their
accomplices. |

Emily
M. Calhoun. Losing twice : harms of indifference in the Supreme Court.
Oxford University Press, c2011. KF8748.C25
2011 Constitutional 'losers' represent a thorny and longstanding problem in American constitutional law. Given our adversarial system, the way that rights cases are decided means that regardless of whether a losing side has committed any actions that cause harm to others, they typically suffer unnecessary harm as a consequence of decisions. This book draws upon conflict resolution theory, political theory, and Habermasian discourse theory to argue that in such cases, the Court must work harder to avoid inflicting unnecessary harm on Constitutional losers. |
