Beskrivning

In this volume a group of distinguished moral and social thinkers address the urgent problem of terrorism. The essays define terrorism, discuss whether the assessment of terrorist violence should be based on its consequences (beneficial or otherwise), and explore what means may be used to combat those who use violence without justification. Among other questions raised by the volume are: what does it mean for a people to be innocent of the acts of their government? Might there not be some justification in terrorists targeting certain victims but not others? Might terrorist acts be attributed to groups or to states?

Recensioner i media

"This book merits careful reading by anyone concerned with determining the moral foundations for the use of force. Not only will the reader be provoked to weigh a number of issues about state terrorism otherwise preempted by 'group think' pressures, but reconsideration of popular beliefs about appropriate responses to insurgent violence will also be found in order." Robert S. Ashmore, ASQ
