Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in each area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.
This prescient Research Agenda sheds light on current and expected developments of military law. It provides expert guidance on the application of international law to military operations and assesses new challenges such as AI, hybrid warfare and the militarization of outer space.
\
Using legal doctrinal and analytical methods, leading scholars and practitioners in the field survey the current legal landscape, providing a forward-looking analysis of emerging issues and future research. The book examines how international law regulates the use and application of armed force or coercive measures by the armed forces of States and other international actors in an armed conflict or in a ?grey zone? pre-conflict setting. Chapters interrogate the functions and rules of the different bodies of international law that govern the conduct of warfare. They also indicate where fault lines lie, and explore how developments in technology and the strategic environment can affect how the law is interpreted and applied.
A Research Agenda for Military Law is an essential resource for academics and students in the fields of international and humanitarian law. Legal advisors in the armed forces and governmental service will also benefit from the book's authoritative analysis of military law.

'This Research Agenda provides an insightful examination of the international legal regimes governing the use of armed force by states and other actors. It explores the interaction between these regimes, highlights existing gray areas, and identifies key topics for future research. Combining traditional themes with emerging issues?such as the deployment of cyber capabilities, artificial intelligence, and the use of force in outer space?the book offers a forward-looking perspective on a constantly evolving field. Authored by leading experts with both academic and practical knowledge and experience, it delivers a rigorous blend of legal analysis, critical evaluation, and pragmatic insight. This makes it an essential reference for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners alike.'
