In addition to the original participants on this panel, we are extremely lucky to have been able to locate such a fine group of scholars to con- tribute to this volume. It should be mentioned at the outset that most ofthecontributorstothisvolumetooktheirformalacademictrainingas political scientists, or were otherwise trained in the fields of politics and international relations.

The reader may also notice that many of the contributors to this volume resemble what one reviewer referred to as “rising stars” in the field,ratherthan“establishedauthorities.”Weembracethislabelwhole- heartedly.

Description:
In original essays written by both senior scholars as well as rising younger scholars in the field of international ethics, this volume addresses the ethics of war in an era when non-state actors are playing an increasingly prominent role in armed conflict.  Central to this concern is the issue of
