{"product_id":"just-warriors-inc-deane-peter-baker-9781441111722","title":"Just Warriors, Inc.: The Ethics of Privatized Force","description":"The presence of contractors on today's battlefields is without question one of the most significant developments in modern warfare. While many contractors perform relatively benign tasks on behalf of the military, controversy rages around those contractors who offer services that involve the use of armed force. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rise of the private military industry raises some difficult issues. For example, Jeremy Scahill, one of the industry's most vociferous critics, questions whether the outsourcing of military force is not 'a subversion of the very existence of the nation-state and of principles of sovereignty'. These questions are at essence philosophical challenges to the existence of the private military industry. In \u003cem\u003eJust Warriors, Inc.\u003c\/em\u003e, philosopher and ethicist Deane-Peter Baker argues that, contrary to popular assumptions, a compelling moral and philosophical case can be made in favour of the ongoing utilization of the services that these 'private warriors' offer. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in moving beyond the hyperbole and exploring in depth the real questions that should be asked about the privatisation of military force.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deane-Peter Baker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441111727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441111722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Deane-Peter Baker","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425259667711,"sku":"9781441111722","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_294096ed-9c53-4a5f-99c5-79edba8b0628.jpg?v=1761538036","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/just-warriors-inc-deane-peter-baker-9781441111722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
