Terrorism and International Justice

Since 9/11, we need to better understand the terrorism we face and reflect upon how we should best respond to it. Edited by James P. Sterba, this collection of new essays on terrorism and international justice focuses on three central questions: ‘What is the nature and rhetoric of terrorism?’, ‘Who are the terrorists and why do they hate?’ and ‘What is a morally justified response to terrorism?’ Prominent philosophers and political thinkers including Shannon E. French, Tomis Kapitan, Noam Chomsky, David B. Burrell, Robert L. Phillips, Zayn Kassam, Louis P. Pojman, Daniele Archibugi, Iris Marion Young, Claudia Card, Richard W. Miller, Martha C. Nussbaum, and Sterba himself, provide diverse perspectives on these and other related questions.
