The Just War Tradition and the Invasion of Iraq * Anticipatory War: Imminent Threats, Unknown Unknowns, and Justified Fears * Punitive War: Enforcing the Law and Ridding the World of Evil * Humanitarian War: Can War be a Force for Good in the World? * Whose Just War, What Tradition? * Just War After Iraq * Conclusion |
| Summary |
This book examines the manner by which the just war tradition has been invoked, engaged, and developed in the context of the war on terror. It pays particular attention to the questions of anticipatory war, humanitarian intervention, and punitive war, and looks to compare current thinking on these issues to classical ideas about when and how war might be justified. In doing so, it draws our attention to the renegotiation of the right to war that is taking place in the post-9/11 world, while also illuminating the stories of change, continuity, and contestation that underpin the ongoing development of the just war tradition |
