{"product_id":"9780191531545","title":"War and Self-Defense","description":"When is it right to go to war? The most persuasive answer to this question has always been 'in self-defense'. In a penetrating new analysis, bringing together moral philosophy, political science, and law, David Rodin shows what's wrong with this answer. He proposes a comprehensive new theory of the right of self-defense which resolves many of the perplexing questions that have dogged both jurists and moral philosophers. By applying the theory of self-defense to international relations, Rodin produces a far-reaching critique of the canonical Just War theory. The simple analogy between self-defense and national defense - between the individual and the state - needs to be fundamentally rethought, and with it many of the basic elements of international law and the ethics of international relations.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119858827504,"sku":"9780191531545","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780191531545_p0.jpg?v=1763661342","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780191531545","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
