"In a world of war, terrorism, and constant threats to global stability, how should Christians honor Jesus Christ?

Seit dem Ende des Ost-West-Konflikts sind??neue" oder ?asymmetrische" Kriege, die in zerfallenen Staaten, gegen Milizen, Warlords oder Terroristen gefuhrt werden, zur Regel geworden. Die auf das Staatensystem des Westfalischen Friedens zugeschnittene Lehre des gerechten Krieges, nach der in der Philosophie und im Volkerrecht kriegerische Handlungen traditionell bewertet werden, wird so auf die Probe gestellt. Philipp von dem Knesebeck identifiziert diejenigen Aspekte asymmetrischer Konflikte, die Herausforderungen fur die Lehre des gerechten Krieges darstellen und zeigt anhand von Beispielen Ansatze fur ihre Bewaltigung auf. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt hierbei auf dem Einfluss, den neue Waffensysteme wie Drohnen und Cyberwaffen auf die Kriegsfuhrung haben. Zudem stellt der Autor eine modifizierte Version der Grundlagen der Lehre des gerechten Krieges vor und weist nach, dass diese fur die meisten Parteien der neuen Kriege akzeptabel ist.

What makes a war just? What makes a specific weapon, strategy, or decision in war just? The tradition of Just War Theory has provided answers to these questions since at least 400 AD, yet each shift in the weapons and strategies of war poses significant challenges to Just War Theory. This book assembles renowned scholars from around the world to reflect on the most pressing problems and questions in Just War Theory, and engages with all three stages of war: jus ad bellum, jus in bello, and jus post bellum. Providing detailed historical context as well as addressing modern controversies and topics including drones, Islamic jihad, and humanitarian intervention, the volume will be highly important for students and scholars of the philosophy of war as well as for others interested in contemporary global military and ethical issues
