Ending Wars Well: Order, Justice and Conciliation in Contemporary Post-Conflict
Author: Eric Patterson
July 2, 2012
Though scholars of political science and moral philosophy have long analyzed the justifications for and against waging war as well as the ethics of warfare itself, the problem of ending wars has received less attention. In the first book to apply just war theory to this phase of conflict, Eric Patterson presents a three-part view of justice in end-of-war settings involving order, justice, and reconciliation. Patterson's case studies range from successful applications of jus post bellum, such as Bretton Woods or the Marshall Plan, to debacles such as present-day Iraq.
