Refusing to take part in war is as old as war itself. This
wide-ranging and original book brings together four different
bodies of knowledge to examine the practice of conscientious
objection: historical and philosophical analyses of conscientious
objection as a critique of compulsory military service and
militarization; feminist, LGBT and queer analyses of conscientious
objection as a critique of patriarchy, sexism, and heterosexism;
activist and academic analyses of conscientious objection as a
social movement and individual act of resistance; legal analyses of
the status of conscientious objection in international and national
law. Conscientious objection is an increasingly important subject
of academic and political debate in countries including the US,
Israel and Turkey. This book provides a much needed introduction
and tool for making sense of the history of nation-states in the
20th century and understanding the political developments of the
early 21st century.
