Jeff
\nMcMahan challenges two fundamental assumptions found in Walzer\u2019s more
\nconventional account of Just War Theory (JWT): the moral equality of combatants
\nand the independence of jus in bello<\/i>
\nfrom jus ad bellum<\/i> considerations. Explain
\nhow these two theorists present contrasting accounts of JWT and evaluate the
\nrespective strengths and weaknesses of their stances. (Which is a more coherent
\ntheory? Whose basic assumptions and intuitions are more reasonable? How do they
\ncompare at the level of practice?)<\/span><\/p>\n
