Under what circumstances are we justified in going to war? Can conflicts be waged in a ‘moral’ way? Is war an inevitable feature of a world driven by power politics? What are the new ethical challenges raised by new weapons and technology, from drones to swarming attack robots?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book is an engaging and up-to-date examination of these questions and more, penned by a foremost expert in the field. Using many historical cases, it examines all the core disputes and doctrines, ranging from realism to pacifism, from just war theory and international law, to feminism and the democratic peace thesis. Its scope stretches from the primordial causes and perennial drivers of war to the cyber-centric space-age future of armed conflict in the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWar and Political Theory\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone, whether advanced expert or undergraduate, who wants to understand the pressing empirical realities and theoretical issues, historical and contemporary, associated with armed conflict.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The Ontology of War\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Realism: Power, Security, and Nationalism\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Pacifism: Ethics, Cosmopolitanism, and Non-violence\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Just War Theory and International Law: Start-of-War\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Just War Theory and International Law: Conduct-during-War\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Just War Theory and International Law: End-of-War\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441789825304,"sku":"9781509524969","price":39.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509524969.jpg?v=1785025301","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/war-and-political-theory-hardback-9781509524969","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
