Description
War and the Liberal Conscience by Michael Howard The liberal tradition has long grappled with the question of war. How can democracies reconcile their commitment to peace with their need for self-defence? Should they intervene in conflicts between other states, or should they maintain a policy of non-interference? Sir Michael Howard explores this dilemma through the history of liberal thought, from Erasmus to the Americans after Vietnam. He argues that peacemaking is a task that requires constant re-examination and renewal. This book offers a nuanced analysis of the liberal conscience in the face of war, and challenges readers to think critically about the role of peace and conflict in international relations.
