(3) What are the ramifications of Muslim accommodations with the theory of the sovereign nation-state in the areas of just war, nuclear deterrence, and distributive justice?
The purpose of this thesis is both to evaluate critically classical and contemporary Islamic perspectives on international relations and to develop systematically an Islamic ethical framework for issues still largely neglected by modem Muslim theorists: just war, the morality of nuclear deterrence, and distributive justice.
(2) The Grotian or "internationalist" tradition views international relations as the arena of sovereign states, but acting in a milieu characterized by pervasive interdependence in economic, military, legal, and political concerns.
This thesis will attempt to contribute to a broadening of the discourse on ethics in international relations by considering the same issues prominent in the Western debate from the ideological perspectives of Muslim writers.
Instead of erecting an Islamic theory of international relations grounded in the ethical principles of the Qur'an, Muslim thinkers provided lengthy discourses on how various verses of the Qur'an and traditions of the Prophet or the khulafii • al rdshidiin were in fact compatible with W estem practices or institutions.
My purpose in this thesis is to study the different approaches to ethical issues in international relations that have most recently been enunciated by Muslim intellectuals from a diverse ideological range.
Thus an exploration of Muslim conceptions of the legitimate or just international order must be the first part of any study of Islamic ethics in international relations.
