This book sets out to explore the questions how democracies decide
which lives should be protected, how these lives are defended, and
how they are distinguished from the lives that can be lost without
mourning. The author analyzes through a range of political and
philosophical issues the contemporary just war literature. She
emphasizes the problem of human rights, the biopolitics of
democratic welfare regimes, and the relationship between the
aesthetic value of the visual world and the discursive value of
democratic politics. In doing so, the book questions standard
conventions about the right to kill in warfare, and challenges some
of our basic assumptions about the justice of democratic welfare
regimes.
