War, Ethics and Justice : New Perspectives on a Post-9/11 World

This Edited Volume Addresses The Key Issues Of Ethics, War And International Relations In The Post-9/11 World. There Is A Lively Debate In Contemporary International Relations Concerning The Relationship Between Statist Obligations To One's Own Political Community And Cosmopolitan Duties To Distant Others. This Volume Contributes To This Debate By Investigating Aspects Of The Ethics Of National Military And Security And Intelligence Policies In The Post-9/11 Environment. The Discursive Transformation Of National Militaries Into 'forces For Good' Became Normalized As The Cold War Subsided. While The Number Of Humanitarian Military Interventions And Operations Rose Considerably In The Immediate Post-cold War Period, The Advent Of The 'war On Terror' Raised Questions About Exactly What We Mean By Ethical Behaviour In Terms Of Military And Security Policies. This Volume Interrogates This Key Question Via A Focus That Is Both Distinctive And Illuminating - On National Military Ethics; Femininities, Masculinities And Difference; And Intelligence Ethics. The Key Objectives Are To Demonstrate The Important Linkages Between Areas Of International Relations That Are All Too Often Treated In Isolation From One Another, And To Investigate The Growing Tension Between Cosmopolitan And Communitarian Conceptions Of Intelligence And Security And The Use Of Armed Force. This Book Will Be Of Much Interest To Students Of Security Studies, Ethics, Gender Studies, Intelligence Studies, And International Relations In General. -- Product Description.
