Just War Theory

My contributions to just war theory have been two fold. In Cosmopolitan Justice, I defended a cosmopolitan account of just cause in contrast to statist-aggression based accounts. In subsequent papers, I have argued for a distinct set of moral considerations about war, not captured by either Jus ad Bellum, Jus in Bello, or Jus post Bellum. These are consideration about whether and how to end a war, which I call Jus ex Bello.
