Greg Raymond, a professor of political science and director of the Boise State University Honors College who received his Ph.D. from USC in 1975, will present a colloquium, “Military Necessity and Asymmetric War,” at 3 p.m., Aug. 31 in Room 430 of Gambrell Hall.
Raymond will analyze the concept of military necessity, trace the evolution of international norms relating to accepting or rejecting the appeal to military necessity as a justification for violating the rules of war, and examine how the Bush administration has used arguments of military necessity in justifying the “war” on global terrorism.
Raymond is the author of 10 books and 50 refereed articles in major journals, has been a consultant to various government agencies, and has lectured on international issues at universities and research institutes in 19 different countries.
