Historically, the just war tradition–a set of mutually agreed rules of combat—may be said to commonly evolve between two culturally similar enemies. That is, when an array of values are shared between two warring peoples, we often find that they implicitly or explicitly agree upon limits to their warfare. But when enemies differ greatly because of ...
The principles of the justice of war are commonly held to be: having just cause, being a last resort, being declared by a proper authority, possessing right intention, having a reasonable chance of success, and the end being proportional to the means used. One can immediately detect that the principles are not wholly intrinsicist nor consequentiali...
The rules of just conduct within war fall under the two broad principles of discrimination and proportionality. The principle of discrimination concerns who are legitimate targets in war, whilst the principle of proportionality concerns how much force is morally appropriate. A third principle can be added to the traditional two, namely the principl...
Following the cessation of a war, three possibilities emerge: either the army has been defeated, has been victorious, or it has agreed to a ceasefire. Principles of justice may then be applied to each situation. Orend presents a useful summary of the principles of jus post bellum : the principle of discrimination should be employed to avoid imposin...
This article has described the main tenets of the just war theory, as well as some of the problems that it entails. The theory bridges theoretical and applied ethics, since it demands an adherence, or at least a consideration of meta-ethical conditions and models, as well as prompting concern for the practicalities of war. A few of those practicali...

In Just and Unjust Wars, Michael Walzer draws on the work of classical just war theorists such as Augustine and Vitoria to offer a principled antidote to the moral realism that often dominates popular debate about war ethics.
Feb 22, 2007 · Augustine and the Case of Preemptive Self-Defense. Augustine's earliest discussion related to just war theory is found in Book I of De libero arbitrio. Written in Rome shortly after his baptism and before his return to North Africa, De libero arbitrio is a treatise neither on political theory in general nor on just war theory in particular.

By defending just war theory, Augustine, Walzer, and others provide leaders with a prefabricated rhetorical framework in which to describe and rational ize their campaigns of military aggression.
undermines just war theory's ability to limit war. Thus, if we want a just war theory that restrains violence, we must imagine a theory that treats the possibility of achieving justice through war far more skeptically. My analysis focuses on two seminal texts: Kenneth Waltz's Theory of International Politics and Michael Walzer's Just and Unjust ...
