This edited volume provides a convenient entry point to the
cutting-edge field of the international politics of technology, in
an interesting and informative manner. Technology and World
Politics introduces its readers to different approaches to
technology in global politics through a survey of emerging fusions
of Science and Technology Studies and International Relations. The
theoretical approaches to the subject include the Social
Construction of Technology, Actor-Network Theory, the Critical
Theory of Technology, and New Materialist and Posthumanist
approaches. Considering how such theoretical approaches can be used
to analyse concrete political issues such as the politics of
nuclear weapons, Internet governance, shipping containers, the
revolution in military affairs, space technologies, and the
geopolitics of the Anthropocene, the volume stresses the socially
constructed and inherently political nature of technological
objects. Providing the theoretical background to approach the
politics of technology in a sophisticated manner alongside a
glossary and guide to further reading for newcomers, this volume is
a vital resource for both students and scholars focusing on
politics and international relations.
