In recent years questions of ethical responsibility and justice in
war have become increasingly significant in international
relations. This focus has been precipitated by United States (U.S.)
led invasions in Afghanistan and Iraq. In turn, Western conceptions
of ethical responsibility have been largely informed by human
rights based understandings of morality. This book directly
addresses the question of what it means to act ethically in times
of war by drawing upon first-hand accounts of U.S. war fighting in
Iraq during the 2003 invasion and occupation. The book focuses upon
the prominent rights based justification of war of Michael Walzer.
Through an in-depth critical reading of Walzer's work, this title
demonstrates the broader problems implicit to human rights based
justifications of war and elucidates an alternative account of
ethical responsibility: ethics as response. Putting forward a
compelling case for people to remain troubled and engaged with
questions of ethical responsibility in war, this work will be of
great interest to students and scholars in a range of areas
including international relations theory, ethics and security
studies.
