This book will put these four elements under close scrutiny, and will explore how they fare given the following challenges: \n\n What role do the traditional elements of jus ad bellum and jus in belloand the constituent principles that follow from this distinctionplay in modern warfare? Do they adequately account for a normative theory of war? \n\n What is the role of the state in warfare? Is it or shoul.
