It will be valuable to anyone interested in understanding the main ethical questions associated with these forms of political violence and the way they can be addressed. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter providing conceptual clarifications that will allow the reader to distinguish between terrorism and guerrilla warfare, it explains and discusses what the criteria are that can justify resorting to lethal violence on the part of the latter group as well as the criteria that can determine the identity of those who can legitimately be targeted by these groups. The book analyzes when terrorists ought to be targeted and how this can be done, focusing on the inherent problems associated with the solutions that are normally used against state actors in order to prevent attacks on their part, namely what can be coined as \"non-violent alternatives to war\", such as economic or diplomatic sanctions, arm embargoes and non-violent resistance and, on the other hand, preemptive attacks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJean-François Caron is an Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Nazarbayev University where he teaches Political Theory.
