- W180325627 abstract "This paper aims to contribute to the contemporary debate about Just War in a, hopefully,distinctive fashion. It seeks to map out (pun intended) a claim about the problematic nature of theway in which Just War theory has responded to the two main challenges surrounding the ethicsof violence in international relations since the end of the Cold War – namely the debates abouthumanitarian intervention and the ‘war on terror’. The claim, and the pun, revolve around theunderstanding of the role and nature of territory in international politics, and specifically JustWar theorists’ debates about these two challenges. In particular, the paper looks at a privilegingof the territorial, bordered state in contemporary Just War debate in order to suggest how it isthat non-state based political forms, projects and activities are marginalised in analysis and alsoethically disadvantaged. Whilst we may well go along with the ethical condemnation offundamentalist ‘jihadist’ versions, or perversions, of Islam, that kind of project – non-territorial,at least in the conventional sense, and separate from state-based conceptions of citizenship as theethically ideal political relationship between individual and political authority, cannot gain afoothold within Just War’s response to changing patterns of violence.The paper proceeds in four principal stages. The first outlines the ‘triumph’ of Just War theory inshaping ethico-political responses to humanitarian intervention and the war on terror. This hasgenerated some insightful and highly sophisticated thinking, developing the ancient tradition ofJust War in appealing and intriguing ways.Critics, and there are more than the few this paper samples, have responded with some effectivearguments of their own, but, in general, the paper argues in its second section, they have alsomissed out on the significance of scale and space for this issue. This is not to deny that they scoresome important points against Just War theory and the particular ways it is used in thecontemporary debates about intervention and anti-terrorism. Here, the paper starts to outline theideas of territory, scale and space that are important to its critique of Just War. It also shows howdebates about scale are influencing other approaches to the changing patterns of violence ininternational relations.The relationship between space, scale and ethics is the principal subject of the paper’s thirdsection, bringing in work in political geography and critical geopolitics in order to demonstratethe extent of the critique of ‘Westphalian’ territorial thinking that, I argue, is inherent andunquestioned in Just War debates.Finally, the paper turns to the ways in which this unreflective approach to the ethics of territoryworks to privilege the state in contemporary developments of Just War and why this is a pricethat should not be paid unthinkingly. A more open-minded, or at least considered, approach toethics and territory within Just War holds out the possibility of a response to these challengesthat is more intellectually fleet of foot and also better positioned to respond positively toalternative ethico-political conceptions of the role of territory in international relations,conceptions that are often highlighted as of growing relevance and significance in other areasof the discipline and practice of international politics." @default.
