This book uses an historical body of knowledge, Just War Theory, as
the basis for analyzing modern conflicts involving Armed Non-State
Actors who employ force against states. As the global community
faces the challenges of globalization, terrorism, 24-hour
international news coverage, super power collapse, weapons of mass
destruction, and failed states, the author explores whether the
historic bodies of knowledge governing decision makers during
conflict remain relevant. Tracing the evolution of Just War Theory,
he analyzes circumstances involving Armed Non-State Actor (ANSA)
groups possessing powerful and destructive capabilities and a
desire to use them, and pursues answers to the central research
question: how does Just War Theory apply in modern scenarios
involving ANSA groups who challenge the state and international
institution's monopoly on use of force? The study finds that Just
War Theory still has the capacity to accommodate modern day
statecraft and application in scenarios involving Armed Non-State
Actors. This book will be of great interest to those researching
and studying in the fields of political theory, security studies,
international relations, war and conflict studies, and public
ethics.
