Produktbeschreibung

Lethal force is a necessary, albeit tragic, feature of statecraft. Ethical frameworks help us think methodically about when war is justified, when it is not, how war should be conducted, and what makes for a just and lasting peace. These frameworks may also be misused to persuade domestic and international audiences about the case for war. The contributors to this volume critically reexamine traditional ways of thinking about the ethics of war and peace in light of the changing but contested norm of national sovereignty. Transnational militants, global counterterrorism strikes, and failing states that become regional and humanitarian disasters challenge traditional notions of sovereignty and borders. Failed military interventions and the elusive meaning of victory in modern wars call into question the moral imperatives of just war and the Responsibility to Protect. This book sets a new standard for ethical inquiry into critical debates about war and peace.
