Despite the millennial hopes for peace wishfully harboured by so
many, the opening years of the twenty-first century have seen the
morality of war remain urgently central to political argument
around the world. The just war tradition has provided one of the
most beguiling frameworks for the question of when it is right to
go to war, and how war ought to be conducted. However, criticisms
of it are as old as the tradition itself and many now claim that
the nature of contemporary warfare has made it truly redundant.
This book addresses the criticisms and explores new angles to just
war thinking, analysing its practical adequacy in the face of
modern-day realities. It is written with the aim of stimulating
debate, recasting or revivifying critical reservations, but also
powerfully demonstrating how just war theory cannot be ignored if
we take seriously the moral questions warfare forces upon us. Key
