The Grenada Invasion: Politics, Law, And Foreign Policy Decisionmaking

Politics & Social Sciences

Beck, Robert J.

Politics & Government

Robert Beck's study focuses principally on two related questions. First, how did the Reagan administration decide to launch the invasion of Grenada? And second, what role did international law play in that decision? The Grenada Invasion draws on extensive interviews and correspondence with key participants―and on the recently published memoirs of those who participated in or witnessed the administration's deliberations―in order to render a new and more complete picture of Operation "Urgent Fury" decisionmaking. Beck concludes that international law did not determine policy, but that it acted briefly as a restraint and then as a justification for action.

International Law & the Use of Force

How does international law restrict the use of force by states? What are the legal implications of using force? This is the second edition of a bestselling textbook first published in 1993. It is fully revised and updated to cover recent key disputes such as Somalia and Rwanda. This is excellent reading for all students with an interest in international law and many of the key challenges faced by the global community.

When the United Nations Charter was adopted in 1945, states established a legal `paradigm' for regulating the recourse to armed force. In the years since then, however, significant developments have challenged the paradigm's validity, causing a `pardigmatic shift'. International Law and the Use of Force traces this shift and explores its implications for contemporary international law and practice.
