It focuses on unsatisfying, partial, 'patched up' ceasefire arrangements; it describes the risks we take and the opportunities we miss when we insist that the only acceptable way to end political violence is to end it comprehensively, once and for all, with a peace for the ages. Eisikovits argues that our thinking about war's end is trapped in a false dichotomy between the ideas of war and peace. A Theory of Truces breaks free from that dichotomy and helps us understand how wars actually end and how we can diminish their viciousness when they cannot be ended"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 118-120) and index. 505 0 $a A theory of truces -- The legitimacy of truce thinking -- Truces in the western tradition -- The conceptual neighborhood -- Three case studies. 650 0 $a Armistices. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85007327 650 0 $a War $x Termination. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh86006360 650 7 $a HISTORY / Military / Other. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / Civil War Period (1850-1877) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PHILOSOPHY / Political. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Peace. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Armistices. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814836 650 7 $a War $x Termination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170409 830 0 $a Palgrave studies in ethics and public policy. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015003007 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210025614.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7F39BECEF5D511E7B33F7C0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
