The Just War Tradition: Applying Old Ethics to New Problems

Beschreibung

This book examines the new and ongoing dilemmas and challenges to world public order in an environment in which international law is more restrictive but state practice is more permissive. The chapters use criteria from the just war tradition to attempt to resolve the tensions posed by the challenges of anticipatory self-defense, humanitarian intervention, and developments in asymmetrical warfare. This book is based on a special issue of the Journal of Military Ethics.
