Riskless warfare, which increasingly characterizes U.S. military policy, pushes up against the limits of the traditional moral justification of combat. Without the reciprocal imposition of risk, warfare must become policing, which requires different rules of engagement and different institutions to control the decision to use force.

Within the U.S. constitutional context, issues over the control of civil association are often debated in terms such as free exercise of religion, freedom of association, or the individual liberty guarantees of the 14th Amendment. These constitutional debates have not gone deep enough. It is necessary to reconsider the understanding of politics that pervades much contemporary discussion, an understanding that views public institutions as plenipotentiary and civil society as a political construction possessing only those liberties that the polity chooses to grant and modify or revoke at will.

Although the effects of the Internet have imperiled the prospects of some workers, the Internet at the same time has contributed to the organization and mobilization of workers and may prove useful to labor activism.

The study and establishment of needs budgets is a topic fraught with ambiguities, and none more so than the understanding of what constitutes a need. The author examines several aspects of need and suggests some approaches useful in researching the cost of meeting needs.

Following the events of September 11, some have insisted that no matter what its political aims, terrorism admits of no moral justification because terrorists attack "innocent" victims. Terrorists contend that their human targets are not innocent--they participate in just state actions and therefore deserve punishment. But to arrive at this conclusion, terrorists must treat themselves as sovereign states authorized to make such judgments and, in the case of bin Laden and his followers, believe their judgments and actions simply follow God's will.

The Food Quality Protection Act mandates that consumers be informed of the risks and benefits of pesticide chemical residues in food. But since these new consumer "right-to-know" provisions are not clearly articulated, consideration of the carefully scrutinized medical right to know offers insights into the kinds of information about food that may prove useful to consumers as well as to those charged with carrying out the provisions of the Act.

Americans tend to distrust unions, in part because unions seem to place little value on personal liberty, self-reliance, and efficiency. However, libertarian criticisms against unions are flawed and, consequently, widespread distrust of unions is unwarranted.

Although the term "junk science" has become a fixture in the popular media, content analysis of news stories for a five-year period reveals almost no evidence of s ubsta ntive or procedural inadequacies in the science used to support environmental or public health policies. Instead, the charge of "junk science" is meaningful primarily from a political or ideological perspective,and plays a strategic role in contrarian, anti-regulatory discourse.
