Depuis le début du XXIe siècle, les opérations extérieures de la France (opex), c’est-à-dire les interventions de ses forces armées à l’étranger, se sont multipliées. Des milliers de soldats sont aujourd’hui déployés sur plusieurs théâtres extérieurs, notamment au Sahel et au Levant. Alors que ces opérations doivent faire face à des défis croissants dans une période d’intensification et de diversification des menaces, cet ouvrage fait le point sur le cadre d’intervention des opex et tire quelques leçons de retours d’expérience. Croisant des regards militaires et civils, théoriques et pratiques, dans une approche globale et pluridisciplinaire (histoire, droit, science politique, sociologie), il permet de mieux saisir cette dimension importante et pourtant méconnue de la politique étrangère de la France

"En octobre 1917, les Américains débarquent dans le port de La Rochelle-La Pallice, puis essaiment à travers la région selon un axe logistique vers Tours. De la Charente-Maritime à l'Indre-et-Loire en passant par la Charente, les Deux-Sèvres et la Vienne, cet ouvrage s'attache à comprendre comment par la présence américaine, le Centre-Ouest (Charente, Charente-Maritime, Vienne, Deux-Sèvres, Indre-et-Loire) devient un espace ouvert sur le monde. Ce sujet pose un regard neuf sur l'historiographie actuelle de la Grande Guerre. A partir de l'exemple des forces américaines présentes dans le Centre-Ouest de la France entre 1917 et 1921, il s'agit de tisser des connexions à toutes les échelles entre les deux rives de l'Atlantique. Le Centre-Ouest est donc un espace géographique inédit, du moins jamais véritablement étudié. En effet, malgré les nombreuses études publiées au cours du centenaire de la Grande Guerre, le cadre géographique reste limité à quelques départements. Ce travail, loin d'être un sujet régionaliste donne une vision réellement internationale de la Première Guerre mondiale. Le livre inscrit le Centre-Ouest dans une histoire connectée, une histoire à l'échelle mondiale, grâce aux fonds d'archives départementaux, communaux et nationaux, aussi bien français qu'américains."

The authors argue that the US has entered into a 'Domain of Competitive Consent' where the longevity of overseas deployments relies upon the buy-in from host-state populations and what other major powers offer in security guarantees. Drawing from three years of surveys and interviews across fourteen countries, they demonstrate that a key component of building support for the US mission is the service members themselves as they interact with local community members. They also highlight both the positive contact and economic benefits that flow from military deployments and the negative interactions like crime and anti-base protests.

Rain Liivoja explores why, and to what extent, armed forces personnel who commit offences abroad are prosecuted under their own country's laws. After clarifying several conceptual uncertainties in the doctrine of jurisdiction and immunities, he applies the doctrine to the extraterritorial deployment of service personnel. Comparing the law and practice of different states, the author shows the sheer breadth of criminal jurisdiction that countries claim over their service personnel. He argues that such claims disclose a discrete category of jurisdiction, with its own scope and rationale, which can be justified as a matter of international law. By distinguishing service jurisdiction as a distinct category, the analysis explains some of the peculiarities of military criminal law and also provides a basis for extending national criminal law to private military contractors serving the state. This book is essential for scholars and practitioners in international and criminal law, especially in military contexts.

As Israel's control of the Occupied Palestinian Territory nears its fiftieth anniversary, The Writing on the Wall offers a critical perspective on the international law of occupation. Advocating a normative and functional approach to occupation and to the question of when it exists, it analyzes the application of humanitarian and human rights law, pointing to the risk of using the law of occupation in its current version to legitimize new variations of conquest and colonialism. The book points to the need for reconsidering the law of occupation in light of changing forms of control, such as those evident in Gaza. Although the Israeli occupation is a main focal point, the book broadens its compass to look at other cases, such as Iraq, Northern Cyprus, and Western Sahara, highlighting the role that international law plays in all of these cases.
