They address questions in the modern counterterrorism context.This volume provides concrete recommendations for policy makers as well as military commanders, a number of which have, since the time of its writing, been incorporated into the recent U.S. policy guidelines related to civilian casualties. Although this volume focuses specifically on current counterterrorism practices, its analysis, frameworks, and conclusions can be applied in varying degrees to emerging technologies as well. These considerations can help a government ensure that its use of force is not only effective, but also responsible and consonant with larger interests."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Drone aircraft $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Drone aircraft $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Drone aircraft $x Moral and ethical aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Uninhabited combat aerial vehicles $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Terrorism $x Government policy $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Targeted killing $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Civilian war casualties $x Prevention. 650 0 $a National security $z United States 651 0 $a United States $x Moral and ethical aspects. $x Moral and ethical aspects. 651 0 $a United States $x Public opinion. $x Public opinion. 700 1 $a Vavrichek, Diane M., $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lewis, Larry L.
