Description
The post-Cold War era has seen considerable change in armed conflict. This collection of essays looks beyond the symptoms-new weapons, new combatants, and new doctrines-to the underlying changes in the norms and practices of sovereignty. It is essential reading for those working on the ethical issues surrounding contemporary armed conflict. -- Amy Eckert, , Metropolitan State University of Denver

Reviews
A valuable addition to any course or study on the ethics of war as a complement to or extension of classical works in the field. The collection nicely balances analysis with concrete examples and situations, a virtue of many of its individual chapters as well as its overall organization. * Reading Religion *
an engaging introduction to the difficult, slippery concept of "sovereignty" over recent decades. * Choice *
