This collection rejects excessive idealism in considering
contemporary ethical dilemmas and returns to more classical styles
of ethical reasoning, including pragmatism, legal realism and the
virtuous life. Valuing pluralism and the ethical dilemmas that
ensue from the multiplicity of values in contemporary international
society, this book does not seek to solve by raising one value over
others, but rather by seeking reconciliations.Arguing for a middle
ground between idealism and realism, this book offers a fruitful
starting point for studying international ethics, of war most
obviously, but also of justice, human rights, intervention,
succession and development ethics where universal ideals encounter
real world obstacles to the accomplishment of principles of the
good. The collection considers real-life situations and how to
resolve them in ways that do not demand a total overthrow of the
contemporary international order but that point to ways to
ameliorate it.Bringing together renowned international scholars in
the field, this book will appeal to scholars of international
relations and international ethics, as well as diplomats.
