After the Smoke Clears: The Just War Tradition and Post War Justice

Product Description

Most studies of just war focus on the rationale for going to war. This important book by Allman and Winright examines the period after the conflict. What must be done to restore justice? The just war tradition has traditionally focused on two categories of criteria: jus ad bellum (criteria to be satisfied in order for embarking upon war to be considered justified) and jus in bello (criteria to be satisfied for the conduct during the war to be considered just). This book calls for more systematic attention to a third phase, jus post bellum.

Beginning with an overview of the development of just war theory, After the Smoke Clears focuses on the period that ensues and the principles and practices necessary for establishing a just and lasting peace, including:  just cause, reconciliation, punishment, and restoration. Of particular concern are environmental concerns such as landmines, cluster munitions, and depleted uranium that pose dangers to generations to come.
