Engaging with a range of interconnected and highly topical issues of identity, self-determination and secession, this book examines the import and implications of 'identity claims', and looks into 'identity politics' motivated by such claims, which is becoming ever more salient in democratic and culturally and ethnically heterogeneous states.

Economic and cultural globalization and the worldwide threat of terrorism have contributed to patriotic loyalty in many parts of the world, and made the issues it raises highly topical. This collection of essays by philosophers and political theorists covers a range of conceptual, moral, and political questions raised by the revival of patriotism.

Developments such as the 'new wars' or the growing privatisation of warfare, and the ever more sophisticated military technology, present the military with difficult ethical challenges. This book gives a hearing to the main ethical approaches to war: just war theory, consequentialism, and pacifism.

Ethics and Sex presents a systematic study of the nature and moral significance of human sexuality and of the major issues in sexual morality.
