The words 'rebellion' and 'revolution' have gained renewed
prominence in the vocabulary of world politics and so has the
question of justifiable armed 'resistance'. In this book
Christopher J. Finlay extends just war theory to provide a rigorous
and systematic account of the right to resist oppression and of the
forms of armed force it can justify. He specifies the circumstances
in which rebels have the right to claim recognition as legitimate
actors in revolutionary wars against domestic tyranny and
injustice, and wars of liberation against wrongful foreign
occupation and colonialism. Arguing that violence is permissible
only in a narrow range of cases, Finlay shows that the rules of
engagement vary during and between different conflicts and explores
the potential for irregular tactics to become justifiable, such as
non-uniformed guerrillas and civilian disguise, the assassination
of political leaders and regime officials, and the waging of
terrorist war against civilian targets.
