Where these principles come into tension Baker shows that they can in some cases be defused by way of a reasonableness test, and in other cases addressed through the application of what he calls the 'risk of harm principle'. The book also explores the question of what measures citizens and other states might legitimately take in response to states that fail to implement morally appropriate policies regarding citizen killings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker, Deane-Peter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472575432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Deane-Peter Baker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32748871057483,"sku":"9781472575432","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_e4662f74-21e2-44e9-8064-b85111def950.jpg?v=1597775730","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/citizen-killings-9781472575432","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
