    [NT 47265] Notes: Description based on print version record.
    [NT 51398] Summary: In August 2008, long-standing tensions in the Caucasus region clme to a head when Georgia dispatched troops into the de facto independent region of South Ossetia, with a view to re-establishing Georgian sovereignty over the area. In response, Russia launched a large-scale military intervention into the state of Georgia. Their use of force went beyond the boundaries of South Ossetia into another breakaway region, Abkhazia, and also into Georgia Proper. In this volume, world-renowned scholars address multiple dimensions of that violent conflict and its aftermath, from the use of force to human rights and from transnational litigation to the use of international law 'rhetoric'. Drawing on a range of perspectives from International Law, as well as International Relations, the book probes the key issues arising from the particulars of the 2008 conflict and explores the wider implications for an international legal order based on the rule of law. This book is indispensable reading for all interested in the Euro-Asian region, and those searching for concrete examples of the application of international law to inter-state conflict'.
