- Double-weighted statement
- This is the culmination of eight years of work. It offers the first systematic philosophical account of the ethics of revolutionary war in the just war tradition. Its general theory of the right of resistance (armed or not) encompasses a diverse range of possibilities, including liberal-democratic, socialist and national liberation movements. Building on this, it draws on revisionist ethics to account for nonviolent resistance, guerilla wars guided by international law, and wars that exceed the law's limits. It argues that there are multiple ethical codes, each suitable to a different range of conflicts.

- Additional information
- Approximately 82% of material included in this book is entirely new to this REF cycle (109,000 out of 132,600 words) but chapters 6 and 7 (ca 23,600 words altogether / 18%) are based on articles appearing in the previous cycle: respectively, ‘Legitimacy and Nonstate Political Violence,’ Journal of Political Philosophy (2010) and ‘Fairness and Liability in the Just War,’ Political Studies (2013). These papers were submitted by the University of Birmingham to the 2014 REF. Material included in chapters 6 and 7 was extensively revised during 2014 in light of critical feedback and the other 8 chapters are entirely new.
