Many people believe that the violent and disruptive nature of war makes a military ethic impossible. The authors of this book, originally published in 1986 however, develop an ethical system that aims to control the military monster at least to some degree, rather than one that preaches to it idealistically – with little or no effect.
The book provides a comprehensive exploration of how globalization impacts various aspects of life, addressing critical issues like disease, pollution, and international trade. It begins with an overview of these challenges, followed by a chronological account of significant events and ideas. In-depth analyses of specific topics are included, along with biographies of key figures and curated lists of resources and organizations involved in international ethics. This structured approach aids readers in understanding the complexities of global interconnections and responsibilities.
