Friedensethik angesichts des Krieges in der Ukraine

FEST kompakt, Volume 8

The Russian war of aggression in Ukraine has challenged peace ethicists to respond to the new political realities. While some call for a fundamental rethink of the previous normative basic positions of Protestant peace ethics, others continue to adhere to the cornerstones of the concept of just peace. In the light of the war in Ukraine, the authors of this volume shed light on current controversies in peace ethics and discuss necessary realignments. This includes questions of the peace order as a legal order, law-preserving violence and civil conflict management.
