The book provides a comprehensive exploration of how globalization impacts various aspects of life, addressing critical issues like disease, pollution, and international trade. It begins with an overview of these challenges, followed by a chronological account of significant events and ideas. In-depth analyses of specific topics are included, along with biographies of key figures and curated lists of resources and organizations involved in international ethics. This structured approach aids readers in understanding the complexities of global interconnections and responsibilities.

Exploring the complex relationship between war and ethics, this book presents a pragmatic military ethic designed to impose some level of control over the chaos of warfare. Rather than advocating for idealistic notions, the authors focus on developing a realistic ethical framework that acknowledges the disruptive nature of conflict while striving to mitigate its violence. Originally published in 1986, the work challenges prevailing beliefs about the impossibility of establishing a military ethics system.

Many people believe that the violent and disruptive nature of war makes a military ethic impossible. The authors of this book, originally published in 1986 however, develop an ethical system that aims to control the military monster at least to some degree, rather than one that preaches to it idealistically – with little or no effect.
