About the Book

Widespread cross-cultural and cross-ideological agreement on the justifiable limits of war has become an increasingly complex yet vital element of global peace and conflict policies. Luís Cordeiro-Rodrigues and Danny Singh bring together a truly international cohort of philosophers, ethicists, political scientists, criminologists, sociologists, and other scholars to address the morality of war from a comparative perspective. While conceptions of when to enter war (jus ad bellum) and how to fight war (jus in bello) have been well researched in Western liberal contexts, non-Western philosophies have been largely excluded from debate. This volume seeks to correct that imbalance by addressing concrete examples alongside concepts of Confucian Yi/Rightness, Ahimsa, feminism, class struggles, Ubuntu, anarchism, pacifism, Buddhism, Islam, Jihad, among others. Comparative Just War Theory provides a global conceptual framework to deal with the morality of war in our modern world. With fresh insights into how the normative problems that arise from just war can be addressed, the book will be a valuable resource for a wide variety of students, scholars, and policymakers.

Review :
From philosophical debates to classroom discussions, just war theory focuses myopically on Christian (most often Catholic) and Western conceptions. The typical progression takes one from Augustine to Thomas Aquinas to a pastoral letter from the US National Conference of Catholic Bishops. Largely ignored are voices and perspectives outside this tradition. This book redresses this problem and fills significant gaps resulting from this narrow focus. Comprising 12 essays and an introduction by the editors, the collection covers an impressive range of perspectives on just war theory. Some essays deal with different theoretical perspectives—including anarchism, pacifism, feminism, and Marxism-Leninism. Other essays address various cultural approaches, including those of non-Western religions (Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism) and from diverse areas of the world (Africa, India, Asia, and Central America). Unlike many philosophy books, this one was written to be accessible to a wide audience. An important book for anyone interested in the moral bases for the use of military force. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals; general readers. This is a much-needed volume on just war theory from multicultural perspectives. It will be a very useful resource for students in a globalized world. Just war theory in the Anglophone world has been largely informed—and limited—by the Christian and liberal traditions. This book paves the way for a truly global approach to theorizing about just war. These stimulating and diverse essays—well-curated from traditionally under-represented perspectives—advance our thinking about the ethics of war and peace.
