Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. With contributions
from global leading scholars, this Research Agenda offers an
interdisciplinary collection of ideas investigating gender and
leadership; where we are today and where we are going. Using
critical perspectives, chapters challenge the way we think about
gender and leadership by questioning the status quo. Providing
cutting edge discussion from authors of diverse genders, races,
ages, ethnicities, and religions, this book provides analysis of
the key issues and methodologies in modern leadership research.
Forward thinking, it examines current guidelines and provides
insight towards an equitable and positive change in leadership.
Leadership scholars and graduate students interested in business
leadership as well as gender and management more broadly will find
this not only an informative but an illuminating read.
Philosophical and ethical discussions of warfare are often tied to
emerging technologies and techniques. Today we are presented with
what many believe is a radical shift in the nature of war-the
realization of conflict in the cyber-realm, the so-called "fifth
domain " of warfare. Does an aggressive act in the cyber-realm
constitute an act of war? If so, what rules should govern such
warfare? Are the standard theories of just war capable of analyzing
and assessing this mode of conflict? These changing circumstances
present us with a series of questions demanding serious attention.
Is there such a thing as cyberwarfare? How do the existing rules of
engagement and theories from the just war tradition apply to
cyberwarfare? How should we assess a cyber-attack conducted by a
state agency against private enterprise and vice versa?
Furthermore, how should actors behave in the cyber-realm? Are there
ethical norms that can be applied to the cyber-realm? Are the
classic just war constraints of non-combatant immunity and
proportionality possible in this realm? Especially given the idea
that events that are constrained within the cyber-realm do not
directly physically harm anyone, what do traditional ethics of war
conventions say about this new space? These questions strike at the
very center of contemporary intellectual discussion over the ethics
of war. In twelve original essays, plus a foreword from John
Arquilla and an introduction, Binary Bullets: The Ethics of
Cyberwarfare, engages these questions head on with contributions
from the top scholars working in this field today.
