Ending War: A Dialogue across Disciplines examines how wars end
from a multidisciplinary perspective and includes enquiries into
the politics of war, the laws of war, and the military and
intellectual history of war. In recent years, the changes in the
character of contemporary warfare have created uncertainties across
different disciplines about how to identify and conceptualise the
end of war. A whole constellation of questions arises from such
uncertainties: How do philosophers define ethical responsibilities
in bello and post bellum if the boundary between war and peace is
ever so blurred? How do strategists define their objectives if the
teleology of action becomes uncertain? How do historians bracket
the known endings of war and delve into the arguments that preceded
them? Which answers can international law provide for the ending of
wars – and which challenges remain or have recently arisen? This
volume addresses these questions and enables both an understanding
of how ‘the end’ as a concept informs the understanding of war
in international relations, in international law, and in history,
as well as a reconsideration of the nature of scientific method in
the field of war studies as such. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of The Journal of Strategic
Studies.
