The book explores the evolution of international humanitarian law by linking it to significant societal changes. It highlights how the laws of war became more structured, formalized, and codified over time, reflecting the development of legal frameworks that govern armed conflict. By examining these historical shifts, the work provides insight into the interplay between societal dynamics and the establishment of international legal norms.

Blood, Power, and Bedlam examines the etiology of violations of international criminal law in four post-colonial African states. With a particular focus on genocide and crimes against humanity, an integrated theory is produced and historical, political, economic, and structural aspects are explored. The book’s main intent is an analysis of the worst crimes humans commit and how, in the cases examined, they arise out of a post-colonial environment. Attention is given to existing or potential applications of international social control.
