This edited volume addresses the key issues of ethics, war and
international relations in the post-9/11 world. There is a lively
debate in contemporary international relations concerning the
relationship between statist obligations to one's own political
community and cosmopolitan duties to distant others. This volume
contributes to this debate by investigating aspects of the ethics
of national military and security and intelligence policies in the
post-9/11 environment. The discursive transformation of national
militaries into 'forces for good' became normalized as the Cold War
subsided. While the number of humanitarian military interventions
and operations rose considerably in the immediate post-Cold War
period, the advent of the 'war on terror' raised questions about
exactly what we mean by ethical behaviour in terms of military and
security policies. This volume interrogates this key question via a
focus that is both distinctive and illuminating - on national
military ethics; femininities, masculinities and difference; and
intelligence ethics. The key objectives are to demonstrate the
important linkages between areas of international relations that
are all too often treated in isolation from one another, and to
investigate the growing tension between cosmopolitan and
communitarian conceptions of intelligence and security and the use
of armed force. This book will be of much interest to students of
security studies, ethics, gender studies, intelligence studies, and
international relations in general. Mark Phythian is Professor of
Politics in the Department of Politics and International Relations
at the University of Leicester. He is the author or
editor/co-editor of ten books. Annika Bergman-Rosamond is Senior
Researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies in
Copenhagen.
