Outline of Final Research Achievements

The project aims at uncovering how international legal control for the use of force can be explained by a theory in International Relations/Political Science. As the project generated variety of research articles in the quality journals like British Journal of Political Science, Conflict Management of Peace Science and International Relations of the Asia-Pacific, our team could make a clear and significant contribution by emphasizing that the rationalist model is powerful to explain how international law is utilized by state governments.
