Tamar Meisels: Debating Targeted Killing, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Known terrorists are often targeted for death by the governments of Israel and the United States. Several thousand have been killed by drones or by operatives on the ground in the last twenty years. Is this form of killing justified? Is there anything about it that should disturb us? In this for-and-against book, political theorists Jeremy Waldron and Tamar Meisels engage in extended debate to illuminate these issues. They consider the actions of targeting and hunting down named individuals, and they address concerns about the possibility of this practice getting out of hand and being extended beyond the realm of counter-terrorism.
