- Double-weighted statement
- This is the culmination of eight years of research, consistent intellectual engagement with sources and writing. 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 meticulously examines a diverse range of possibilities, including liberal-democratic, socialist and national liberation movements. Building on several years of rigorous empirical and theoretical research, the book develops an innovative account of nonviolent resistance, guerrilla wars, and wars that exceed the law’s limits.

- Additional information
- Approximately 82% of material included in the double-weighted 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 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.
