Force Short of War: A Multidisciplinary Normative Approach
Jai Galliott (University of New South Wales, Kensington)
& Daniel Brunstetter (University of California, Irvine)
The use of force short of war is now commonplace, in large part owing to casualty aversiveness and the explosion of emerging technologies. It usually involves the selective or limited use of military force by a state to achieve political objectives and assumes many forms. These include targeted killing, assassination, setting up no-fly zones, special-forces raids, very limited duration bombing campaigns or missile strikes, and ‘low intensity’ counterrorism and counterinsurgency operations. However, ‘force short of war’ also encompasses the provision of military support for regime stabilization or regime change through support of secessionist/independence movements. This multi-disciplinary volume asks a number of questions about the moral, legal and political status of such operations, the strategic situations in which such force is best used, and whether existing rules and regulations are sufficiently robust to deal with the moral challenges the use of limited force entails.
We welcome high quality abstracts from philosophers, lawyers, political/international relations theorists, strategists and other concerned researchers on any topic from the following (non-exhaustive) list:
- the difference between war and force short of war (and/or limited force)
- the role of traditional just war theory in modern conflict
- the need for a new third tenet: jus ad vim
- the limits of force short of war
- IHL and force short of war
- legitimate authority/authorisation of force short of war
- Low intensity conflicts in Syria, Yemen, Somalia and elsewhere
- targeted killing and assassination
- regime change
- secession
- drones
- links to the invasion of sovereignty
- autonomous systems
- cyber warfare
- the politics of force short of war
- the history of conflicts short of war
- counterinsurgency (guerilla) operations
- counterterrorism operations
- military/police dichotomy in conflict
- the ethics of arming rebels
- limited force and the responsibility to protect (R2P)
- the role of sanctions
- providing limited military force to help other governments fighting civil wars
- force short of war and the connection to peace
Abstracts should be 200 words in length, clearly convey the core argument of the proposed chapter and show a strong thematic connection. All abstracts should be accompanied by a biosketch of up to 150 words, detailing one's qualifications and research interests. Full papers are expected to be 7,000-8,000 words. We have interest from a ‘Category A’ university publisher and confirmed options with a ‘Category B’ press (A-E scale).
All submissions and questions should be directed to: jaichristiangalliott@gmail.com.
Deadline for submissions: 1 June 2015
