Handbook

This course examines the ethical arguments, assumptions and principles that are used to prescribe and evaluate policies and practices in the context of contemporary organised violence. Moreover, and importantly, this course makes the particular political contexts of these arguments, assumptions and principles a central part of this examination. In other words, its starting-point is the necessity of studying the ethics and politics of war together. Combining these two categories sets this course apart from other courses being taught both within UNSW Canberra and at other institutions.
