Terrorism and Justice: Moral Argument in a Threatened World

Mostly philosophers, mostly from Australia, examine the matter of defining terrorism, assessing the moral status of resort to terrorism, the international legal regime most suited to dealing with it, state terrorism, the role of an ideology of liberation in defending it, collective responsibility, and related topics. The ten essays grew out of a November 2000 workshop in Melbourne; earlier versions of some have appeared elsewhere. Distributed in the US by Paul and Company, a division of IPG.
