Self-Defense and the Obligations to Kill and to Die [Abstract]

February 3, 2004
David Rodin’s book, War and Self Defense, is a subtle and provocative
analysis of the claim of self-defense and its relation to modern war. Building
on his analysis, I raise some further issues about self-defense as a
justification of modern nation state war. Principal among these is what I call
the conscription paradox: if the state’s right to make war is grounded in the
right of its citizens to self-defense, how do we explain the right of modern
states to conscript its citizens into the military -- and order them to die, if
need be? This problem has been acknowledged by liberal individual thinkers over
the years, but not solved. It raises questions of whether a coherent account of
current nation state military practice can be grounded in individual
self-defense.
