Zusatztext In this timely and measured work, Dr Richard Mackenzie-Gray Scott considers the specific issue of state responsibility for the wrongdoings of non-state actors. [...] The work is at once rigorous and insightful. More than simply an analysis of the tests for attribution in the law of state responsibility, Dr Mackenzie-Gray Scott takes a step back and considers the impact of globalization, neoliberalism, and shifting power balances on the state responsibility framework. [...] The work contains much food for thought for the academic and practitioner alike. The concrete proposals for the future warrant particularly careful reading. Informationen zum Autor Richard Mackenzie-Gray Scott is Postdoctoral Fellow at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights and Fellow at St Antony’s College at the University of Oxford, UK. Vorwort This study asks: how should state responsibility be considered in light of wrongdoing by non-state actors? Zusammenfassung This book investigates how state responsibility can be determined for the wrongdoing of non-state actors. Every day, people, businesses and societies around the world pay a price arising from interactions between states and non-state actors. From insurrections that attempt to create new governments, to states arming belligerent proxies operating overseas, to companies damaging natural environments or providing suspect services, the impact of such situations are felt in numerous ways. They also raise many questions relating to responsibility. In answering these, State Responsibility for Non-State Actors provides a picture of what the law governing this area is, what it could be, and what it should be in light of past histories, present realities and future prospects.
