| Pełny opis: |
The last decade of the twentieth century and the first decades of the twenty-first century have reignited the debate on the concept of just war mainly due to such occurrences as NATO-led intervention in Kosovo and US-led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. However, the very idea of war’s adherence to a certain set of rules in order to be recognized as just could be traced back to the Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The aim of this course is to provide a general introduction to the various aspects of just war theory, especially its history, theoretical underpinnings and contemporary relevance. Just war is a complex and divisive concept that calls for use of historical, legal and philosophical-political approach. The course will include the presentation of the focal points discussed in just war theory (e.g. the just cause of war and the proper conduct in war) against the backdrop of the selected thinkers such as the Stoics, St. Augustine, Gratian, Thomas Aquinas, Raphael Fulgosius, Paul Vladimiri, Francisco de Vitoria, Hugo Grotius, Francis Bacon, Emmanuel de Vattel, Immanuel Kant, Michael Walzer, to name only a few. After having provided the possibly comprehensive philosophical, political and legal contexts, we will also set a great store to the discussion of the difficulties and misappropriations inherent in the just war theory and its contemporary application. The course will also pay attention to the thought-provoking critiques of the just war theory, especially to the arguments in favour of the non-discriminatory concept of war provided by Carl Schmitt. Topics include: -Just war and holy war -Defining basic concepts. Jus in bello, jus ad bellum, jus post bellum -Key thinkers of just war theory / tradition -Rafał Lemkin and the introduction of the concept of genocide -Carl Schmitt’s non-discriminating concept of war and the notion of the nomos of the Earth -The concept of just war in Asian and non-Western thought -Paul Vladimiri (Paweł Włodkowic) and the Polish contribution to just war theory -Modern day terrorism in the prism of just war theory -Preventive war, humanitarian intervention and the issue of regime change |
