The fundamental aims of this book are two: to explore the interaction between religion and secular society in the formation as well as the dissolution of just war doctrine; and to investigate just ...war doctrine as an ideological pattern of thought, expressive of a greater ideology.
The author reconstructs the development of classic just war doctrine, showing it to be a product of secular and religious forces. From it he traces the growth of the doctrines of holy war and of modern just war. He demonstrates that the blending of two distinct traditions in the late Middle Ages has its counterpart in the century following the Reformation. The secularized just war doctrine exemplified in the writings of Grotius, Locke, and Vattel are related to the problems of war in our time.

Highlighting the just war tradition in historical perspective, this valuable study looks at contemporary implications drawn out in the context of several important contemporary debates: within the ...field of religion, including both Christian and Islamic thought; within the field of debate related to the international law of armed conflicts; within the field of policy relating to the use of armed force where the issue is just war thinking vs. realism; and debates over pressing contemporary issues in the ethics of war which cross disciplinary lines. James Turner Johnson has been writing on just war tradition since 1975, developing the historical understanding of just war and seeking to draw out its implications for contemporary armed conflict. He is frequently asked to lecture on topics drawn from his work. This current book brings together a number of essays which reflect his recent thinking on understanding how and why just war tradition coalesced in the first place, how and why it has developed as it has, and relating contemporary just war reasoning to the historical tradition of just war.
Just war theory is predicated on a realist interpretation of the causes of war and the possibility of moral defense for state-orchestrated violence. Making use of Buddhist resources, this short paper ...uses the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a gate for reflecting on the deeper origins of war in our everyday ways of life, on its marriage of bodily and temporal violence, and on its dysfunctional, cyclic alternation with peace and on how to break it.

Via rigorous study of the legal arguments Spain developed to justify its acts of war and conquest, The Other Side of Empire illuminates Spain's expansionary ventures in the Mediterranean in the late ...fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Andrew Devereux proposes and explores an important yet hitherto unstudied connection between the different rationales that Spanish jurists and theologians developed in the Mediterranean and in the Americas. Devereux describes the ways in which Spaniards conceived of these two theatres of imperial ambition as complementary parts of a whole. At precisely the moment that Spain was establishing its first colonies in the Caribbean, the Crown directed a series of Old World conquests that encompassed the Kingdom of Naples, Navarre, and a string of presidios along the coast of North Africa. Projected conquests in the eastern Mediterranean never took place, but the Crown seriously contemplated assaults on Egypt, Greece, Turkey, and Palestine. The Other Side of Empire elucidates the relationship between the legal doctrines on which Spain based its expansionary claims in the Old World and the New. The Other Side of Empire vastly expands our understanding of the ways in which Spaniards, at the dawn of the early modern era, thought about religious and ethnic difference, and how this informed political thought on just war and empire. While focusing on imperial projects in the Mediterranean, it simultaneously presents a novel contextual background for understanding the origins of European colonialism in the Americas.
Le 21 février 2022, Vladimir Poutine reconnaissait l’indépendance des territoires séparatistes ukrainiens. Trois jours plus tard, la Russie envahissait l’Ukraine. Une fois de plus, l’Histoire, au ...coeur du discours du président russe, avait servi à justifier la guerre. Au sein des sciences humaines, l’Histoire a cela de particulier d’être non seulement celle de la connaissance du passé, mais également un outil au service de la structuration des identités et de la construction des imaginaires nationaux. Sa puissance argumentative en a fait un instrument de choix dans l’action politique. Au cours des siècles, différents groupes et chefs d’État l’ont mobilisée, dévoyée ou manipulée afin de préparer leurs opinions publiques, de convaincre les indécis, d’encourager l’engagement militaire ou de légitimer, aux yeux de la communauté internationale, le bien-fondé du recours à la force et du passage à la violence. Entre rigueur historique et enjeux sociaux, au coeur du rapport entre pouvoir et société, les textes réunis dans ce volume reviennent sur les usages belliqueux de l’Histoire. De l’Antiquité à nos jours, de l’Orient à l’Occident et du Nord au Sud, chaque chapitre rappelle que la connaissance du passé reste incontournable non seulement pour comprendre le monde actuel et ses dynamiques, mais encore pour se protéger de l’instrumentalisation de l’Histoire et de la désinformation, tant par le passé qu’à l’âge des réseaux sociaux.
