SynopsisThe revolutions of 1989-90 in Eastern Europe and the current crisis in the Middle East raise a whole new series of questions about national security and how they can be defined and implemented. But there are a number of basic philosophical and political issues which remain constant at a level deepr than tactical considerations. The essays in this volume bring together concerned philosphers, political scientists, Christian ethicists, and policymakers who discuss the fundament and perduing questions of pacifism, war, intervention, and political negotiation. What, for instance, do the churches have to contribute to the quest for peace other than exhortation? Who defines our "national interests" and what does it have to do with a deeper "national purpose?" How can we come to consider the question of intervention in other than strictly unilateral terms? These are the kinds of questions that require considerable reflection as well as political savvy., Revolutions and aborted revolutions and bitter civil and 'local' wars in the 1980s and since have raised new questions about national security, its definition, and its implementation. This title asks the fundamental and perduring questions of pacifism, war, intervention, and political negotiation., Revolutions and aborted revolutions and bitter civil and "local" wars in the 1980s and since have raised new questions about national security, its definition, and its implementation. Nevertheless, a number of basic philosophical and political issues remain constant at a level deeper than tactical considerations. These are what eight accomplished philosophers, political scientists, Christian ethicists, and policymakers came together to discuss. They ask the fundamental and perduring questions of pacifism, war, intervention, and political negotiation. They focus on such problems as ascertaining the role of the churches in the quest for peace, defining "national interest" and "national purpose," and construing intervention in other that strictly unilateral terms.
