Central to this concern is the issue of whether, or under what conditions, non-state actors can be said to have the "authority" to participate in war. The contributors therefore explore and analyze the problems with, and possibilities for, incorporating non-state actors into the traditionally state-centric moral vocabulary about war - namely, the just war tradition Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject International relations -- Moral and ethical aspects Just war doctrine.
