What are the ethical principles underpinning the idea of a just war
and how should they be adapted to changing social and military
circumstances? In this book, Steven P. Lee presents the basic
principles of just war theory, showing how they evolved
historically and how they are applied today in global relations. He
examines the role of state sovereignty and individual human rights
in the moral foundations of just war theory and discusses a wide
range of topics including humanitarian intervention, preventive
war, the moral status of civilians and enemy combatants, civil war
and terrorism. He shows how just war theory relates to both
pacifism and realism. Finally, he considers the future of war and
the prospects for its obsolescence. His clear and wide-ranging
discussion, richly illustrated with examples, will be invaluable
for students and other readers interested in the ethical challenges
posed by the changing nature of war.
