Commonwealth and Independence in Post-Soviet Eurasia (1998)
examines the various attempts to create new forms of integration by
the new states of Eurasia. The contributors to this volume analyse
in detail how the national elites in the independent states
conceived their regional policies. It looks in particular at the
Russian-led Commonwealth of Independent States, feared by many of
the newly-independent nations as being the Soviet Union Mark II.
This third edition of Moral Constraints on War offers a principle
by principle presentation of the ethics of war as is found in the
age-old tradition of the Just War. Parts one and two trace the
evolution of Just War Theory, analyzing the principles of jus ad
bellum and jus in bello: the principles that determine the
conditions under which it is just to start a war and then conduct
military operations. Each chapter provides a historical background
of the principle under discussion and an in-depth analysis of its
meaning. More so than in the previous editions, there is a special
focus on the transcultural nature of the principles. Besides
theoretical clarifications, each of the principles is also put to
the test with numerous historical and contemporary examples. In
Part three, Just War Theory is applied in three specific case
studies: the use of the atomic bomb against Japan in World War II,
the Korean War (1950-53), and the use of armed drones in the "war
on terror." Bringing together an international coterie of
philosophers and political scientists, this accessible and
practical guide offers both students of military ethics and of
international relations rich, up-to-date insights into the
pluralistic character of Just War Theory.

Bringing together a range of specialists in their respective fields, the book provides a combination of original research with fundamental questions about why states stay together, and above all why sometimes they fall apart. When and under what conditions is the separation of one part of a state from another justified? Written in an accessible and informed manner, the authors seek to answer this question on the basis of ten case studies and a general review of the literature and theories of the question.
