Description
Environmental Ethics of War provides a comprehensive analysis of the intersection between military conflict and environmental degradation. Tamar Meisels investigates how warfare impacts ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resources, arguing that environmental harm must be integrated into ethical assessments of armed conflict.
The book challenges conventional international relations theory by demonstrating that wars produce significant and often irreversible environmental consequences. Meisels examines case studies of environmental destruction caused by military operations and develops normative frameworks for addressing these impacts.
Part of the Elements in International Relations series, this work bridges environmental ethics, just war theory, and international law. It argues for stronger protections of the environment during armed conflict and explores the moral responsibilities of nations regarding ecological preservation in wartime and peacetime planning.
