International Law and Courts

Chapter 11 in Economic Instruments of Security Policy, 2006, pp 161-170 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Is national security the exclusive domain of world leaders? Can they alone direct armies, impose sanctions, negotiate trade agreements, and orchestrate the other policy tools that fall easily into this domain? The fact is individual citizens can assume the role of economic actors in statecraft as well. Harnessing these energies toward a foreign policy can provide powerful tools to the policy-maker. Leaders can choose a policy of simply getting out of the way and letting individuals take actions; in turn, individual citizens acting in their own self-interests can advance the interests of the nation.
