Features: This book is a collaborative research outcome conducted by academic institutions such as the Research Center for European Studies at Renmin University of China, the Royal Military Academy of Belgium, and the Free University of Brussels. One of its main features is a systematic discussion on the content, principles, and practical applicability of just war, drawing on several major localized conflicts that occurred after the Cold War. The second significant characteristic is that this book is a testament to cross-cultural international cooperation, with authors from various cultural backgrounds and value orientations exploring the issues of war and humanitarian intervention in the post-Cold War era from different disciplinary perspectives, including philosophy, theology, political science, and international relations, through theoretical and case studies.
