When is war just? What does justice require? If we lack a
commonly-accepted understanding of justice - and thus of just war -
what answers can we find in the intellectual history of just war?
Miller argues that just war thinking should be understood as
unfolding in three traditions: the Augustinian, the Westphalian,
and the Liberal, each resting on distinct understandings of natural
law, justice, and sovereignty. The central ideas of the Augustinian
tradition (sovereignty as responsibility for the common good) can
and should be recovered and worked into the Liberal tradition, for
which human rights serves the same function. In this reconstructed
Augustinian Liberal vision, the violent disruption of ordered
liberty is the injury in response to which force may be used and
war may be justly waged. Justice requires the vindication and
restoration of ordered liberty in, through, and after warfare.
