Palgrave is publishing a new book
that reassess the meaning, relevance, and legacy of Michael Walzer’s classic,
Just and Unjust Wars.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This book presents ten original
essays that reassess the meaning, relevance, and legacy of Michael Walzer’s
classic, Just and Unjust Wars. Written by leading figures in philosophy,
theology, international politics and the military, the essays examine topics
such as territorial rights, lessons from America’s wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, the practice of humanitarian intervention in light of experience,
Walzer’s notorious discussion of supreme emergencies, revisionist criticisms of
noncombatant immunity, gender and the rights of combatants, the peacebuilding
critique of just war theory, and the responsibility of soldiers for unjust
wars. Collectively, these essays advance the debate in this important field and
demonstrate the continued relevance of Walzer’s work.
