The Kantian project of achieving perpetual peace among states seems
(at best) an unfulfilled hope. Modern states' authority claims and
their exercise of power and sovereignty span a spectrum: from the
most stringently and explicitly codified-the constitutional
level-to the most fluid and turbulent-acts of war. The Public Uses
of Coercion and Force investigates both these individual extremes
and also their relationship. Using Arthur Ripstein's recent work
Kant and the Law of War as a focal point, this book explores this
connection through the lens of the (just) war theory and its
relationship to the law. The Public Uses of Coercion and Force asks
many key questions: what, if any, are the normatively salient
differences between states' internal coercion and the external use
of force? Is it possible to isolate the constitutional level from
other aspects of the state's coercive reach? How could that be done
while also guaranteeing a robust conception of human rights and
adherence to the rule of law? With individual replies by Ripstein
to chapters, this book will be of interest to students and
academics of constitutional law, justice, philosophy of law,
criminal law theory, and political science.
