Noted experts examine America's power to go to war historically and recently, now that the Cold War has ended. They propose ways that the Congress and the president might develop a new working consensus for dealing with the use of military or paramilitary force in the future. This scholarly study of constitutional and statutory proscriptions, UN treaty and international obligations, and judicial restraints is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students, law students, teachers, and professionals concerned with constitutional interpretation, the government's division of power, and war making.
GARY M. STERN, Research Associate at the Center for National Security Studies, focuses on the war powers and other issues involving national security and civil liberties. He co-authored Lawful Wars with Morton Halperin in Foreign Policy (Fall 1988) and the American Civil Liberties Union amicus curiae brief in Dellums v. Bush in 1990.
MORTON H. HALPERIN, Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, was formerly the Director of the Advisory Board of the Center for National Security Studies and the American Civil Liberties Union. His many books include Self-Determination in the New World Order (1992) and Nuclear Fallacy (1987).
