‘Virtuous war’ and the emergence of jus post bellum

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  16 July 2010

Abstract

Scholars from various subfields have recognised a dangerous novelty for ethical thought on war in the combination of a detached, or virtual, technical ability to wage war and the ethical imperatives of human rights norms – deemed ‘virtuous war’. This article begins by discussing the contention that the just war tradition acts as the enabling discourse for virtuous war, and the further contention that the wars being enabled are paradoxically unjust. After assessing the validity of the virtuous war claim it is argued that the just war tradition's core ethical commitment not only remains the most sound starting point for thinking about the morality of war, but is a commitment that those in the virtuous war literature suggesting alternate ethical doctrines on war implicitly reject. It is contended, though, that the addition of a third pillar to the just war structure of cause and means criteria – a justice after war or jus post bellum – has arisen due to the virtuous war reality, and is necessary in order for the just war tradition to remain committed to its core ethical principle in a 21st century marked by virtuous war. Lastly, I present a brief sketch of jus post bellum informed by the article's key claims.

And though they do not usually mention morality, they do investigate the novelties that the RMA has brought to warfare in the last fifteen or so years. Some, such as the edited volume by Arquilla and Ronfeldt, portray the nature of war as changing drastically. Others, such as Lonsdale's book, believe that warfare will remain as bloody and ‘Clausewitzian’ as ever, despite new technologies. Either way, the purpose of this article is to investigate the implications of technology and morality when combined for the effectiveness of just war theory in constraining warfare. In their investigation of half the virtuous war equation, these strategic theorists can be seen contributing to the brevity of the virtuous war claim.

In this way, this literature supports the second half of the virtuous war claim – that human rights norms are prompting, or at least allowing, states to act where they otherwise might not.

8 Almost all of the just war theorists cited in this article work from somewhere in the liberal tradition, and many recognise the two aspects of virtuous war defined here as the most pressing concern for just war theory. Probably the most pointed work to express this concern is Rengger, Nicholas, ‘On the Just War Tradition in the Twenty-First Century’, International Affairs, 78:2 (2002), pp. 353363.CrossRefGoogle Scholar He writes that ‘the just war tradition at the opening of the twenty-first century shows some signs of having reached the limit of its elasticity […]’ (p. 361). In tacit agreement with the work being presented here, Rengger advises us not to give up on the tradition, though, but to recognise it as a way of thinking ‘that is central to the lives of free and reasonable persons’, (p. 363). Also, there is of course Ignatieff's Virtual War, a landmark work that begins to grapple with the implications of modern war-making technology for liberal states.

9 For the most recent look at the strain of realist agreement with virtuous war claims see, Desch, Michael C., ‘America's Liberal Illiberalism: The Ideological Origins of Overreaction in US Foreign Policy’, International Security, 32:3 (2008), pp. 743CrossRefGoogle Scholar ; Layne, Christopher, The Peace of Illusions: American Grand Strategy from 1940 to the Present (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2006).Google Scholar Though avowedly unconcerned with the moral dimensions under consideration here, realists have always warned that moral considerations inevitably lead to aggression and over-extension in a state's foreign policy. In this way, they can be seen to implicitly support Der Derian's claim that human rights norms are contributing to a Western trigger-happiness. Both the authors cited here blame liberalism, replete as it is with notions of moral superiority and human rights, for at least the last decade and a half of imprudent war-making on the part of the US.

11 See Walzer, Michael, ‘The Triumph of Just War Theory (And the Dangers of Success)’, Social Research, 69:4 (2002), pp. 925946.Google Scholar He gives a concise overview of the history of the tradition as it originated in Augustine and Aquinas' thought on Christianity and war in European antiquity, its later codification into international law by Grotius and others, and his own efforts to bring the tradition up-to-date after the Vietnam War. Thus, when the tradition is spoken of here I am referring to this common understanding of an ever-evolving commitment in the Western world to constraining war through moral arguments. When I speak of theory I am referring to the precise content of the ethical doctrine emanating from the tradition at particular historical moments.

13 As stated earlier, the virtuous war literature is an imagined one for the purposes of this article; no scholars explicitly call themselves virtuous war thinkers. Likewise, the virtuous war paradigm spoken of here simply denotes a way of thinking about war developed in this article by combining the insights of many disparate scholars around Der Derian's phrase, a phrase that I feel can encompass the work of all those mentioned.

14 Alex J. Bellamy writes on the philosophical roots of what he deems the two major positions of jus post bellum advocates – minimalist and maximalist positions delineated generally by their call for restraints or responsibilities after war, respectively. But he elides the sociological view espoused here; that just war advances are intrinsically connected to the exigencies of the practice of war. In doing so he is also able to elide this aspect when judging whether a jus post bellum is needed, instead finding fault with the philosophical coherence of current jus post bellum manifestations and stopping there. Needless to say, this article takes a radically different approach to the study of just war doctrine. ‘The Responsibilities of Victory: Jus Post Bellum and the Just War’, Review of International Studies, 34:4 (2008), pp. 601–25.

15 This intuition is indebted to the work of Berger, Peter L. and Luckmann, Thomas, who write that theories change or are superseded because in the ‘dialectic of psychological reality [read: moral reality] and social structure [r]adical changes in the social structure […] may result in concomitant changes in psychological reality [in which] new psychological theories may arise because the old ones no longer adequately explain the empirical phenomena at hand.’ The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1966), p. 179.Google Scholar

46 The contention that force was legally justified because Iraq had not held firm to the letter of UN resolutions with regards to weapons inspections is unconvincing. Alex J. Bellamy writes that ‘[m]ost international lawyers and states discounted the claim that the war was legal because it had been authorized by the Security Council.’ None of the UN resolutions cited by the US or Britain implied that force could be used; ‘the Council has never authorized the use of force to implement Resolution 687 [calling for Iraqi disarmament] [and most tellingly, in] September and November 2002, the USA and UK proposed a resolution that endorsed the use of force if Iraq continued to be in material breach of its obligations, but failed to persuade most other Council members to support it.’ Bellamy, , ‘Ethics and Intervention: The ‘Humanitarian Exception’ and the Problem of Abuse in the Case of Iraq’, Journal of Peace Research, 41:2 (2004), pp. 134135.CrossRefGoogle Scholar
