      abstract = {An exploration, history, and analysis of what is hoped to  be an alternative to the current view of political enemies,  “The Just Enemy in a Time of Terror and Conflict” traces  German jurist Carl Schmitt’s concept of the “just enemy”  through a variety of authors and time periods. This concept  requires that we legitimize and humanize the enemy, with  the hope that it will contain the violence and vitriol of  conflicts. In order to do this we must cease our moralizing  about war. The first chapter is an in-depth analysis of the  concept of the just enemy. Next it moves onto traces of the  just enemy in 20th and 21st century political liberalism.  Then it works backwards to analyze the beginnings of the  just enemy in 17th and 18th century texts. Lastly it looks  at the concept of the just enemy present in three very  different thinkers on war. It concludes with a reflection  on the utility of the concept of the just enemy, hoping  that it could even help us realize better our position of  human rights protector.},
