Rengger the reluctant rule follower

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter explores the work of Nicholas J. Rengger, specifically in the realm of the use of force. It argues that Rengger’s reluctance to embrace a rule following approach to evaluating military combat was not a complete rejection of rules but rather a reading of them through the casuistic tradition of thought. It concludes with a brief examination of cyber warfare using Rengger’s ideas.
