You would probably dig the Ender saga.
Ender's Game and the books that follow Ender's life examine the
morality of inter-species (inter-cultural) relations, and inevitably
war.
The "Shadow" branch, in particular, deals overarchingly with the
process of world domination for primarily benevolent ends, and the
practical and moral conundrums that arise on that quest.
Orson Scott Card is the author.
Hope you're having a great day!
