Changing the rules of war: the controversies surrounding the United States’ expanded use of drones
(Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of St Andrews, 2015-02-04) - Journal itemThe Obama administration has an opportunity, and some would say an obligation, to create a doctrine that sets guidelines for the development and deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones. There ... -
