FERREIRA, Pedro Tiago. The striking implications of Morgenthau’s realism for just war theory. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2018, n.58, pp.83-92. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2018.58a06.

The article aims at expounding the classical realist view – whose figurehead is Hans Morgenthau – on the admissibility of war as a legal-political institution in a period when technology enabled the creation and development of nuclear weapons, as well as the implications of this view for just war theory.

Keywords : Nuclear weapons; just war; classical realism; Hans Morgenthau.
