Description

Explore the complex debate surrounding humanitarian wars in this thought-provoking book from Routledge. Humane Warfare examines the Western trend of attempting to humanize modernity through the development of technology designed to make conflict more humane. Using examples like the Kosovo conflict, the text investigates the rise of virtual and virtuous warfare. Author Christopher Coker presents a radical perspective on whether the West is deluding itself by believing war can be made more ethical. This cutting-edge study questions the long-term viability of humanitarian warfare and considers how non-Western societies may respond to these shifts in military strategy. It is an essential read for those interested in military history, strategy, and the evolving ethics of modern conflict.
