What does it mean to say that a particular war is just or unjust,
that terrorism is always wrong, or that torture can sometimes be
morally justified? What are the moral bases for the possession or
use of nuclear weapons, intervening in other nations' civil wars,
or being a bystander to genocide? Such questions take us to the
heart of what is morally right and wrong behaviour in our world.
Global Violence: Ethical and Political Issues provides readers with
the analytical tools to better understand the suppositions that
underlie the debates about such questions, as well as equipping
them to advance their own reasoned and informed moral analyses of
these topics. The book engages different normative approaches from
the fields of ethics, international relations and political
philosophy and uses them to examine a set of case studies on the
subjects of inter-state and civil war, nuclear weapons, terrorism,
torture and genocide.
