Just War in Comparative Perspective

Edición de la obra Just war in comparative perspective

"The contributors to this book analyse how the different cultures, religions, and nations of the world justify war, and the limits which these groups place on the conduct of wars. Chapters in the book cover religious and secular perspectives, modern and pre-modern perspectives, and case studies. Together they form a unique and wide-ranging comparative contribution to what is one of the most important ethical debates facing humankind. The book should interest anyone concerned with issues of international affairs and international law, war, philosophy, or religion."--Jacket.
