Post-Cold War reality revealed a very different set of challenges, including a significantly wider moral dimension, particularly when forces, initially under UN leadership and later under the NATO flag, were deployed in different parts of the turbulent Balkans. Military observers, by now with legal advisers close by, watched events in the Balkans, East Timor and then in central and West Africa with professional interest, and some were involved there. A few years later, soldiers were subsequently caught as much by surprise by the events of 9/11, a graphic example of asymmetric warfare, as most of the rest of the world. The initial, post 9/11 response in Afghanistan and Iraq brought the notion of the fragile or collapsed state, and the blurring of the roles of military forces, international organisations, non-governmental organisations, non-state actors, and indigenous administrators and their uniformed organisations, and with them the moral dilemmas, to much wider notice. More recent conflicts have indeed shown the need for commanders and soldiers in all types of conflict to have a much better understanding of the complex moral and legal environments, and opened new debates about the principle of ?winning hearts and minds? in counter-insurgency and peace support operations. Moreover, technological superiority by the West has also produced mixed benefits in the field of military operations, and posed additional dilemmas, many of them moral. The trend towards defining human rights and ?fundamental freedoms? poses further questions for the soldier today. This collection of essays, written by a wide variety of practising experts and scholars, touches on all these issues. It links the medieval traditions of jus in bello , codified by Saint Thomas Aquinas in the Christian Church nearly eight centuries ago, to examination of modern challenges and moral dilemmas relating to the ethics and laws of conflict and crises of all types in the twenty-first century, and in a global context among people of many different faiths and beliefs, and none. It is an important collection for all those researching or practically involved in conflict and post-conflict situations. 606 $aAsymmetric warfare$xMoral and ethical aspects$vCongresses 606 $aCounterinsurgency$xMoral and ethical aspects$vCongresses 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention$xMoral and ethical aspects$vCongresses 606 $aLow-intensity conflicts (Military science)$xMoral and ethical aspects$vCongresses 606 $aMilitary ethics$vCongresses 606 $aDemocracy$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAsymmetric warfare$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aCounterinsurgency$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aLow-intensity conflicts (Military science)$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aMilitary ethics 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a172/.42 701 $aBaarda$b Ted van$0988482 701 $aVerweij$b De?sire?e$0988483 712 02$aNederlandse Defensie Academie. 712 02$aNetherlands Institute for Military Ethics. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459654503321 996 $aThe moral dimension of asymmetrical warfare$92260319 997 $aUNINA
