Most people believe that killing someone, while generally morally wrong, can in some cases be a permissible act. Most people similarly believe that war, while awful, can be justified. Bradley Jay Strawser here addresses both subjects as equal parts in a larger meditation on the ethics of harm and moral responsibility-whether in war collectively or in individual self-defense-and whatever it is that lies in between. Strawser sets out by examining the moral justification for individual defensive killing and then tests its application to collective war as a natural outgrowth of the former. In seeking sincere answers to these morally vexing questions, Strawser offers a novel theory of liability attribution based upon evidence-relative norms, gives a robust defense of so-called 'revisionist' just war theory, and charts a neo-liberal basis for just war theory grounded on the value of individual autonomy.

In this book, Steven C. Roach addresses the effects of the South-South war in South Sudan, showing how it has troubled the transition to statehood and the transitional government of national unity. Throughout, he stresses how the government has failed to adequately promote core standards of accountability and shows how the Sudan People's Liberation Movement remained a largely militaristic organization that dominated control of the country's political destiny and became a powerful deterrent to democracy, security, justice, and national unity. Comprehensive in scope, the book represents the first systematic examination of the foundations of South Sudan's quandary both before and after its civil war. Yet it offers hope for a moral reckoning through the promising efforts to advance hybrid justice and to pressure the government to implement a truth commission, war crimes court, and reparations commission.

In this book, Erik Lie brings risk management and liquidity management together to show how corporations can ensure they have sufficient--but not excess--cash holdings, both now and in the future. Lie begins with determinants of liquidity, the consequences of suboptimal liquidity, and how to manage liquidity before demonstrating how risk management and payout policy can and should be used to maintain the proper cash level. With practical tools rooted in liquidity management, this book presents a strong theoretical foundation for risk management and payout policy, discusses practical considerations, and demonstrates applied tools that help managers make good decisions.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Paris was the cosmopolitan hub of Europe and home to a vast number of foreigners – including the writers, painters, sculptors, and musicians who were creating works now synonymous with modernism itself, such as Les Desmoiselles d’Avignon, The Rite of Spring, and Ulysses. The situation at the end of the period, however, could not have been more different: even before the violence of the Second World War, the cosmopolitan avant-garde had largely abandoned Paris, driven out by nationalism, xenophobia, and intolerance.Foreign Modernism investigates this tense and transitional moment for both modernism and European multiculturalism by looking at the role of foreigners in Paris’s artistic scene. Examining works of literature, sculpture, ballet and performing arts, music, and architecture, Ihor Junyk combines cultural history with contemporary work in transnationalism and diaspora studies. Junyk emphasizes how émigré artists used radical new forms of art to resist the culture of virulent nationalism taking root in France, and to articulate new forms of cosmopolitan identity.

In Foundations of Institutional Reality Andrei Marmor provides a novel account of the ontological foundations of institutional facts and argues that there are important epistemic and methodological implications that follow from this ontology.

In The Oxford Handbook of Gender and Conflict, Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, Naomi Cahn, Dina Francesca Haynes, and Nahla Valji focus on the multidimensionality of gender in conflict, yet they also prioritize the experience of women given both the changing nature of war and the historical de-emphasis on women's experiences.

A Suspicious Science draws from history and anthropology to articulate an interdisciplinary multi-level form of psychology that may serve to orient the field.
