ABSTRACT
At the initiation of this project a specific conclusion was not envisioned. The idea was to investigate the three proposed realms of legitimacy as they relate to drone killings across international borders, a design that does not necessarily point in the direction of policy solutions. By peering through the lenses of legality, morality, and efficacy a series of worthwhile views into the legitimacy of drones could be offered to enhance the public understanding of an issue that is only growing in importance. This indebted editor believes that the contributing authors have done precisely this. Unexpectedly, this book project also advanced in a manner that has produced a keen policy proposal meant to integrate these three basic tenants of legitimacy.
