This is the first comprehensive study of how different ethical traditions deal with the central moral problems of international affairs. Using the organizing concept of a tradition, it shows that ethics offers many different languages for moral debate rather than a set of unified doctrines. Each chapter describes the central concepts, premises, vocabulary and history of a particular tradition and explains how that tradition has dealt with a set of recurring ethical issues in international relations. Such issues include national self-determination, the use of force in armed intervention or nuclear deterrence, and global distributive justice. Written by leading specialists in the USA and UK, Traditions of international ethics treats the subject in an encyclopedic way, allowing readers to identify internal tensions within, as well as points of agreement and disagreement between, a wide variety of traditions. It is an invaluable source that students and specialists of international affairs, moral philosophers and theologians will consult for information on the full range of reflection on international ethics.
