Under what conditions is the use of force legally allowed in International Relations: the comparative analysis of the Russian actions in Georgia

    Under what conditions is the use of force legally allowed in International Relations: the comparative analysis of the Russian actions in Georgia (2008) and Ukraine (2014).

    I need a multidisciplinary approach to this essay (mix of International Law, International Relations and East European Studies). Also, I usually go with pretty concise “male” style of writing, so, please, less poetics and more facts, analysis and causal-consequential inferences. The structure, as I see it:
    Intro (~half a page-1 page) -> Literature review (the theoretical framework of the question, review of the key documents and international agreements, treaty and customary law rules re the question, ~2 pages) -> Main argument and findings (theoretic comparative analysis of the 2 case studies and empirical analysis whether there was a breach of Intl law and custom in the 2 cases, ~3-4 pages) – Conclusion (~half a page).
    I have summaries of a number of sources related to the use of force in Intl law, let me know if the writer needs them (Ian Brownlie, ‘Principles of public intl law’, ch. 33 – The use of threat of force by States; JAMES A. GREEN, ‘The Intl Court of Justice and Self-Defence in Intl. Law’, Ch. 1.2 – Facts and rulings of the primary cases, 9-22, Ch.2 – The criteria of necessity and proportionality; C.BJOLA, ‘Legitimating the use of force in Intl Politics:Kosovo, Iraq and the ethics of intervention’, Ch.5 – Humanitarianism revisited: the NATO intervention in Kosovo; R.BURKE, ‘Status of forces deployed on UN peacekeeping operations:Jurisdictional Immunity’; C.J.BORGEN ‘The language of law and the practice of politics:great powers and the rhetoric of self-determination in the cases of Kosovo and South Ossetia’, UN ‘A more secure world: our shared responsibility, 2005.
    The formal requirement is the minimum of 15 sources not counting the primary sources (treaties, agreements, documents, etc.)
