The work examines why some armed groups 'follow the rules' of international humanitarian law and others do not. It argues that armed groups in conflicts around the world engage with international organizations in order to gain international legitimacy and to show they are following the laws of war. By examining the issue of child soldiers in contemporary armed conflict, the volume establishes a typology of which groups will engage with international actors and follow the laws of war - and which will not. The main aim of the book is to understand the rationality of even the most violent of actors, and to understand when and how armed groups can be encouraged to follow the laws of war. The work draws from extensive primary research conducted among armed groups in Syria and Myanmar, including al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and the many small ethnic insurgent groups of Myanmar. This book will be of much interest to students of war and conflict studies, security studies, international humanitarian law, and International Relations"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Insurgency $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Child soldiers $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Non-state actors (International relations) 650 0 $a International agencies. 650 0 $a War $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a War (International law) 650 7 $a Child soldiers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854677 650 7 $a Insurgency. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975461 650 7 $a International agencies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976708 650 7 $a Non-state actors (International relations) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744766 650 7 $a War (International law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170412 650 7 $a War $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170352 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Plowright, William, 1982- $t Armed groups and international legitimacy $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021 $z 9781003127024 $w (DLC) 2020042706 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014508.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8ECC48BC323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
