How terrorism is wrong. |
| Резюме: |
"How Terrorism Is Wrong offers a moral assessment of various forms of political violence, with terrorism the focus of much of the discussion. Held also considers military intervention, conventional war, intervention to protect human rights, violence to prevent political change, and the status and requirements of international law. She examines the possible connection between violence and humiliation and looks at the cases of Rwanda, Kosovo, Iraq, and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Finally, she explores questions of who has legitimate authority to engage in justifiable uses of violence, whether groups can be responsible for ethnic violence, and how the media should cover terrorism."--Jacket. |
