This title brings together experts on military ethics to discuss the changing nature of the military's role in the contemporary world. New military technologies, the rise of private military companies, and the increasing involvement of the military in counterterrorism and humanitarian operations all pose challenges to traditional ideas about the ethics of war, the relevance of current international law governing armed conflict, and Just War theory. In particular, the chapters in this volume explore the ethical issues posed by recent developments such as the war on terrorism, the use of military robotics, the idea of 'new wars', the ethics of humanitarian intervention, and the role of private military companies. Aimed at both military and academic audiences, this volume will be of interest to those involved in philosophy, sociology, international relations, politics, and security studies.
