Lebow demonstrates that foreign policies consistent with generally
accepted ethical norms are more likely to succeed, and those at
odds with them to fail. Constructing original data sets and
analyzing multiple case studies, Lebow makes an empirical case for
ethics in international relations. His approach looks to create a
productive dialogue between those who ask primarily 'ought'
questions and those who pose 'is' questions. The former want to
establish appropriate criteria for the behaviour of state and
non-state actors and the discourses that lead to their policy
decisions, whereas scholars who pose 'is' questions are concerned
with how political actors behave and the principles and assumptions
that might explain their behaviour. Lebow bridges the gap between
'is' and 'ought' questions by making an instrumental argument in
favour of ethical foreign policy. He examines policymaking as well
as policy, offering ethical guidelines for policymaking that are
likely to result in more successful policies.
