| dc.description.abstract | This thesis looks at reasons why states adhere to codes of conduct in fighting wars. Most of the scholarly work on state adherence has focussed on the period after the codification of international humanitarian law and laws of war. However, constructivists mention the importance of norms that can influence state adherence. The case of the Hundred Years War, which took place in the Middle Ages and thus before the codification of the laws of war, is selected in order to investigate other reasons for complying to codes of conduct. By using the Hundred Years War, the concept of chivalry and an argument based on constructivist and historical thought, it is suggested that apart from a legal basis states adhere to these codes of conduct because of norms. Those norms directly influence individual behaviour, but by doing so they also influence state behaviour. Also, a case is made for the importance of chivalry and the Hundred Years War to the field of international relations. | en_US |
