This book begins with an account of the evolution of improvised
explosive devices using a number of micro case studies to explore
how and why actors have initiated IED campaigns; how new and old
technologies and expertise have been exploited and how ethical
barriers to IED development and deployment have been dealt with. It
proceeds to bring the evidence from the case studies together to
identify themes and trends in IED development, before looking at
what can realistically be done to mitigate the threat of IEDs in
the new wars of the twenty first century. The book suggests that
the advance and availability of a combination of technological
factors, in conjunction with changes in the nature of contemporary
conflicts, have led to the emergence of IEDs as the paradigmatic
weapons of new wars. However their prevalence in contemporary and
future conflicts is not inevitable, but rather depends on the
willingness of multiple sets of actors at different levels to build
a web of preventative measures to mitigate - if not eradicate - IED
development and deployment.
