| The Ethics of Collective Security [Abstract]
- 12/03/93
Does multilateral action always succeed in creating a Pax Universalis? On the contrary, it may lead to war. With arguments from the U.S. perspective and examples from the Gulf War, Hendrickson sees both collective and unilateral action as neither good nor bad. Author(s): David C. Hendrickson |
| Sanctions as Punishment, Enforcement, and Prelude to Further Action [Abstract]

| Boycott, Crime, and Sin: Ethical and Talmudic Responses to Injustice Abroad [Abstract]

| Is There an Islamic Ethic of Humanitarian Intervention? [Abstract]
- 12/03/93

| Political Theory in the Age of Nationalism [Abstract]

| Ethics, Integration, and Disintegration: A Russian Perspective [Abstract]
- 12/03/93
Benevolenski and Kortunov discuss the array of moral, ethnic, and nationalistic questions emerging after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

| Choices More Ethical Than Legal: The International Committee of the Red Cross and Human Rights [Abstract]
- 12/03/93
ICRC has coordinated relief for victims who are ignored by the world, in more places than all the UN agencies combined. When law is silent, as often during war time it is, human rights policies must be built on ethical choice. Author(s): David P. Forsythe |

| The Recovery of Liberalism: Moral Man and Immoral Society Sixty Years Later [Abstract]
- 12/03/93
In this analysis of Reinhold Niebuhr's 1932 classic Moral Man, Little reviews some of the book's fundamental conclusions. He observes that, when moral language is used in international politics without self-criticism, it diverts attention from the real motives of the statesmen who use it. Author(s): David Little |
| An Innocent Abroad? John Dewey and International Politics [Abstract]
- 12/03/93
Using Dewey's critics' own arguments that purport to show Dewey intentionally, or naively, disregarded the role of power in the relations of communities, Westbrook brings examples to reinforce the contrary view. Author(s): Robert B. Westbrook |
