With formal ethics education programmes being a rarity in most
countries' armed forces, there is a growing importance for
servicemen to undergo additional military ethics training. But how
do we ensure that soldiers learn the right lessons from it?
Furthermore, how can we achieve a uniformity of approach? The
current lack of uniformity about what constitutes ethical behaviour
and how troops should be educated in it is potentially a cause for
serious alarm. This book advances knowledge and understanding of
the issues associated with this subject by bringing together
experts from around the world to analyze the content, mode of
instruction, theoretical underpinnings, and the effect of cultural
and national differences within current ethics programmes. It also
explores whether such programmes are best run by military officers,
chaplains or academic philosophers, and reflects whether it is
feasible to develop common principles and approaches for the armed
forces of all Western countries. This is an invaluable volume for
military academies and staff colleges to enhance understanding of a
matter which requires much further thought and which is becoming a
vital force in influencing outcomes on the battlefields of the
twenty-first century. The book will primarily be of interest to
military officers and others directly involved in ethics education
in the military, as well as to philosophers and students of
military affairs.
