Cosmopolitan Peace by Cecile Fabre

Cosmopolitan Peace by Cecile Fabre

This book articulates a cosmopolitan theory of the principles which ought to regulate belligerents' conduct in the aftermath of war. Throughout, it relies on the fundamental principle that all human beings, wherever they reside, have rights to the freedoms and resources which they need to lead a flourishing life, and that national and political borders are largely irrelevant to the conferral of those rights. With that principle in hand, the book provides a normative defence of restitutive and reparative justice, the punishment of war criminals, the resort to transitional foreign administration as a means to govern war-torn territories, and the deployment of peacekeeping and occupation forces. It also outlines various reconciliatory and commemorative practices which might facilitate the emergence of trust amongst enemies and thereby improve prospects for peace.

It is impossible to do justice in a review to the richness of the argument as it unfolds across the ten chapters of Fabre's bookEven as it sets out in a systematic way the case for a philosophical analysis of the demands of peace under the terms of cosmopolitan political justice, it never loses sight of the constraints of practical politics, and the book frequently demonstrates theory's ability to illuminate historical cases. Throughout, it is meticulously argued, invigorating, and provocative, and it will be essential reading for scholars of war and peace working within philosophy, political theory, law, peace studies, and other disciplines. Along with its sister volume, Fabre's Cosmopolitan Peace is an extraordinary achievement. * Christopher J. Finlay, Ethics *
