Governments often act in the name of security to protect their
citizenries. For example by legislation or by the recruitment and
employment of large numbers of armed personnel to detect and
prosecute violent crime, or via engagements in military
interventions to repel or pre-empt foreign attacks. These practices
are often taken to have strong moral justifications. The value of
security is linked to the value of life and the disvalue of
violence and injury, and all of these are central both to
theoretical accounts of and common sense views about the difference
between right and wrong. The essays in this volume seek to increase
our understanding of state action in the name of security and take
a range of viewpoints and approaches. Some articles attempt to
delimit the concept of security, or dispute attempted
delimitations; some consider security as a 'good' and ask what sort
of good it is, and how valuable; whilst others consider the
relation between state action in the name of security and state
action in the name of other goods, notably liberty, or consider
ethical issues in health security, climate security and
cybersecurity. Overall, this collection of essays shows how appeals
by governments to the value of security have grown out of
relatively recent events and processes at a global level, such as
the response to pandemics, the acceleration of climate change, and
counter-terrorism. The volume features an introductory essay and
forms part of a five-volume series on legal ethics and the
enforcement of law.
