Features: In today's world, the situation is turbulent, and humanity cannot completely avoid war. "Legal Warfare" is an effective countermeasure for countries to prevent and respond to war in the contemporary era. It is a military struggle centered around force, utilizing law as its working tool. In December 2003, the Central Military Commission promulgated the "Political Work Regulations of the People's Liberation Army," which first formally proposed the characteristics of "three wars" (publicity warfare, psychological warfare, and legal warfare) in modern warfare. "Legal Warfare" was officially introduced in China. Although legal warfare on the global stage has been escalating, comprehensive research on it remains a both domestically and internationally. This book presents a fresh theoretical perspective and systematically discusses the intrinsic mechanisms of legal warfare, thereby providing a theoretical platform for the research and practice of legal warfare. In this book, the author, with a broad vision, comprehensively elaborates on seven major issues: the definition of legal warfare, its elements, classification, principles, process, system, and laws of legal warfare. At the same time, by summarizing successful experiences and commenting on lessons from failures in numerous vivid cases of legal warfare, the book not only possesses theoretical persuasiveness but also practical guidance significance. It truly achieves a connection between theory and practice, as well as between history and reality. This book holds significant guidance value for China's preparation to counter potential armed aggression from foreign enemies and for formulating legal countermeasures when war is imposed upon us.
