3500 word entry on the state of contemporary just war theory, used in two recent Oxford Companions. Due out this year I think.
6000 word entry focusing on the discussion of war in contemporary analytical philosophy. Distinguishes that approach from historical just war theory because of the former’s overriding emphasis on the importance of individual human rights to the ethics of war. Characterises Walzer’s principal contributions to jus ad bellum and jus in bello as his orientation of those questions around human rights: we may fight to protect fundamental rights, but in doing so we must not violate others’ rights. Identifies the principal criticisms of Walzer’s elaboration of these themes, but notes that few critics question whether it is really possible to render the ethics of war consistent with individual rights in this way. Indicates the possible direction of travel for those who think that a rights-respecting war is an unattainable ideal. Invited submission for the Wiley Blackwell International Encyclopaedia of Ethics. Publication has been delayed, but there is some promise of the 9 volume megalith hitting the shelves in 2012 (see here for more).
