Terrorism Unjustified

The Use and Misuse of Political Violence

Beschreibung

Vicente Medina challenges common misconceptions and excuses for extreme political violence and differentiates between justified political violence and unjustifiable terrorism. Medina draws on philosophical concepts like just war theory while adding social and political science perspectives to contextualize today’s terrorism within current international law and moral attitudes.
