Summary:  Drone warfare has raised profound ethical and constitutional questions. Not since debates over nuclear warfare has American military strategy been the subject of discussion in living rooms, classrooms, and houses of worship. Yet as this groundbreaking new work shows, the full implications of drones have barely been addressed in the recent media storm. Philosopher Grégoire Chamayou applies the lens of philosophy to our understanding of how drones are changing our world. For the first time in history, a state has claimed the right to wage war across a mobile battlefield that potentially spans the globe. Remote-control flying weapons, he argues, take us well beyond even George W. Bush's justification for the war on terror. As more and more drones are launched into battle, war now has the potential to transform into a realm of secretive, targeted assassinations of individuals -- beyond the view and control not only of potential enemies but also of citizens of democracies themselves. Drones are profoundly influencing what it means for a democracy to wage war. Other authors:  Lloyd, Janet, 1934- Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
