Since the start of the \"War on Terror\" with 9\/11, these protocols have increasingly been incorporated into public discussion. We have entered an era where contemporary wars often involve terrorism and guerrilla tactics, but how have the rules that were designed for more conventional forms of interstate violence adjusted? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eDo the Geneva Conventions Matter?\u003c\/em\u003e provides a rich, comparative analysis of the laws that govern warfare and a more specific investigation relating to state practice. Matthew Evangelista and Nina Tannenwald convey the extent and conditions that symbolic or \"ritual\" compliance translates into actual compliance on the battlefield by looking at important studies across history. To name a few, they navigate through the Algerian War for independence from France in the 1950s and 1960s; the US wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan; Iranian and Israeli approaches to the laws of war; and the legal obligations of private security firms and peacekeeping forces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThoroughly researched, this work adds to the law and society literature in sociology, the constructivist literature in international relations, and legal scholarship on \"internalization.\" \u003cem\u003eDo the Geneva Conventions Matter?\u003c\/em\u003e gives insight into how the Geneva regime has constrained guerrilla warfare and terrorism and the factors that affect protect human rights in wartime.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatthew Evangelista\u003c\/strong\u003e is President White Professor of History and Political Science and former chair of the Department of Government at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA, where he teaches courses in international and comparative politics.
