Born of a multiyear, interdisciplinary collaborative project consisting of experts in international affairs, military strategy, diplomacy and ethics, this book focuses on the moral dimension of international and military affairs as it explores a series of moral dilemmas facing the US national security and military communities. The book focuses on the moral norms, procedures and outcomes of military action and its interdisciplinary and interprofessional approach demonstrates the need to examine issues from a variety of angles to achieve a full understanding of international affairs. Essays address the following issues: War, Strategy and Ethics; The Politics and Ethics of Rescue; Military Strategy and Terrorism; From Just War to Just Peace; From Moral Norm to Criminal Code: The Law of Armed Conflicts and the Restraint of Contemporary Warfare; What's Living and What's Dead in Nuclear Ethics; Living with Chemical and Biological Weapons: Ethical Considerations; Technology and the Battlefield: Moral Dilemmas on the Battlefield; Matching Moral Expectation and Military Capabilities in Modern Warfare; and Strategic Theory, Military Practice and the Laws of War: The Case of Strategic Bombing. For anyone interested in current international conflict.
