In a world that continues to be riven by armed conflict, the
fundamental moral and political questions raised by warfare are as
important as ever. Under what circumstances are we justified in
going to war? Can conflicts be waged in a 'moral' way? Is war an
inevitable feature of a world driven by power politics? What are
the new ethical challenges raised by new weapons and technology,
from drones to swarming attack robots? This book is an engaging and
up-to-date examination of these questions and more, penned by a
foremost expert in the field. Using many historical cases, it
examines all the core disputes and doctrines, ranging from realism
to pacifism, from just war theory and international law, to
feminism and the democratic peace thesis. Its scope stretches from
the primordial causes and perennial drivers of war to the
cyber-centric space-age future of armed conflict in the 21st
century. War and Political Theory is essential reading for anyone,
whether advanced expert or undergraduate, who wants to understand
the pressing empirical realities and theoretical issues, historical
and contemporary, associated with armed conflict.
