The American Search for Peace: Moral Reasoning, Religious Hope, and National Security

Revolutions and aborted revolutions and bitter civil and local wars in the 1980s and since have raised new questions about national security, its definition, and its implementation. Nevertheless, a number of basic philosophical and political issues remain constant at a level deeper than tactical considerations. These are what eight accomplished philosophers, political scientists, Christian ethicists, and policymakers came together to discuss. They ask the fundamental and perduring questions of pacifism, war, intervention, and political negotiation. They focus on such problems as ascertaining the role of the churches in the quest for peace, defining national interest and national purpose, and construing intervention in other that strictly unilateral terms.
