Politicians and the press exploit the rhetorical strength of the word "evil" in phrases such as 'evil regimes' or 'Axis of Evil'. Yet, until recently, contemporary political theory has been wary of its religious connotations or the status of the moral judgement it conveys, especially when approaching morality from a relativist perspective. This book explores the actual and possible roles of evil in modern-day international politics.
Many political theorists think that some things may not simply be "different," but are objectively wrong. Approaching this issue in different ways, these theorists arguethere are important questions to be asked about the extent of a reasonable pluralism. There is surprising agreement in modern cultures on the substantive evils that confront human communities: genocide, torture, and slavery. It is here, where our tolerance is stretched to the breaking point, that we can apply the concept of evil.
This volume demonstrates the usefulness of the concept of evil in outlining criteria for the "limits of toleration," describing the development of humanitarian international law, theorizing postconflict outcomes, the notion of forgiveness, and making sense of political spin.
