Abstract

In the article "Limited force and the fight for the just war tradition," Christian Nikolaus Braun presents an alternative approach to the concept of limited force in the context of just war theory. Braun rejects the revisionist perspective and instead advocates for a more practical and action-oriented understanding of just war. The book explores the ethical considerations surrounding limited force and law enforcement, drawing on the legacies of Thomas Aquinas and incorporating casuistry and virtue ethics. Braun also highlights the importance of retribution as a just cause in addition to self-defense. Overall, the book offers a fresh perspective on just war theory and its relevance to contemporary security challenges. [Extracted from the article]
