      abstract = {"What are the ethical principles underpinning the idea of  a just war and how should they be adapted to changing  social and military circumstances? In this book, Steven P.  Lee presents the basic principles of just war theory,  showing how they evolved historically and how they are  applied today in global relations. He examines the role of  state sovereignty and individual human rights in the moral  foundations of just war theory and discusses a wide range  of topics including humanitarian intervention, preventive  war, the moral status of civilians and enemy combatants,  civil war and terrorism. He shows how just war theory  relates to both pacifism and realism. Finally, he considers  the future of war and the prospects for its obsolescence.  His clear and wide-ranging discussion, richly illustrated  with examples, will be invaluable for students and other  readers interested in the ethical challenges posed by the  changing nature of war"--},
