At the opening of the twenty-first century, while obviously the
world is still struggling with violence and conflict, many
commentators argue that there are many reasons for supposing that
restrictions on the use of force are growing. The establishment of
the International Criminal Court, the growing sophistication of
international humanitarian law and the 'rebirth' of the just war
tradition over the last fifty years are all taken as signs of this
trend. This book argues that, on the contrary, the just war
tradition, allied to a historically powerful and increasingly
dominant conception of politics in general, is complicit with an
expansion of the grounds of supposedly legitimate force, rather
than a restriction of it. In offering a critique of this
trajectory, 'Just War and International Order' also seeks to
illuminate a worrying trend for international order more generally
and consider what, if any, alternative there might be to it.
