Does the lethal use of drones pose any new or difficult moral
problems? Or is the controversy over these weapons merely a
distraction from deeper questions regarding the justice of war and
the United States' bellicose foreign policy? Opposing Perspectives
on the Drone Debate pulls no punches in answering these questions
as five scholars square off in a lively debate over the ethics of
drones and their contentious use in a point-counterpoint debate.
The contributing authors are some of the foremost thinkers in
international affairs today, spanning the disciplines of
philosophy, sociology, political science, and law. Topics debated
range from the US's contested policy of so-called "targeted
killing" in Pakistan's tribal regions to fears over the damaging
effects such weaponry has on our democratic institutions to the
more abstract moral questions raised by killing via remote control
such as the duty to capture over kill.
