About the talk
Day Five, we explored broad frameworks for ethically assessing responses in the grey zone. Today we apply those frameworks to two specific grey zone activities--hostage taking and media warfare. We’re lucky to have the co-editors of the 2017 book Soft War: The Ethics of Unarmed Conflict--the first and currently only volume on the topic.
