About the lecture

In this module, we examine the goals of war, focusing in particular on (i) the pacifist position that nothing can justify going to war (ii) the central case for a justified war: to prevent more killing from happening overall (iii) the responsibility of a state in protecting its own state and other states in order to achieve this central goal (iv) secondary goals of war like developing just institutions and economic considerations.
