Here is the June JPP:
Darrel Moellendorf (Philosophy, San Diego State), “Jus ex Bello“: 123-136. Argues that just war theory is incomplete without an account of jus ex bello, i.e. the conditions under which war should be brought to an end.
Andrea Sangiovanni (Philosophy, King’s College, London), “Justice and the Priority of Politics to Morality“: 137-164. Defends the view that existing institutional arrangements play a role in the justification of conceptions of justice, and not just their implementation.
Frank Hindriks (Philosophy, Groningen), “The Freedom of Collective Agents“: 165-183. Defends an account of the freedom of collective agents that does not reduce it to the freedom of individual members, and illustrates this account through a discussion of G.A. Cohen on proletarian unfreedom.
Alex Voorhoewe (Philosophy, Logic, and Scientific Method, LSE), “Scanlon on Substantive Responsibility“: 184-200. Argues against Scanlon’s Value of Choice view and in favour of a Potential Value of Opportunities view as an approach to the role of people’s opportunities in the justification of social arrangements.
Matthew Noah Smith (Philosophy, Yale), “Terrorism, Shared Rules and Trust“: 201-219. Argues that terrorism is especially objectionable since it threatens valuable shared rules of war and valuable trusting relationships between nations.
Uwe Steinhoff (Politics and Public Administration, Hong Kong), “Jeff McMahan on the Moral Inequality of Combatants“: 220-226. Argues, against McMahan, that in most wars, although not all, there is a kind of moral equality between combatants such that those fighting on an unjust side may kill those fighting on the just side.
Jeff McMahan (Philosophy, Rutgers), “Justification and Liability in War“: 227-244. Defends against Steinhoff’s criticism by arguing that instances where it is permissible to attack just combatants do not suffice to establish the moral equality thesis, which supposes that just combatants are always liable to attack by unjust combatants.
