Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2015 One of the most
significant and controversial developments in contemporary warfare
is the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly referred to as
drones. In the last decade, US drone strikes have more than doubled
and their deployment is transforming the way wars are fought across
the globe. But how did drones claim such an important role in
modern military planning? And how are they changing military
strategy and the ethics of war and peace? What standards might
effectively limit their use? Should there even be a limit? Drone
warfare is the first book to engage fully with the political,
legal, and ethical dimensions of UAVs. In it, political scientist
Sarah Kreps and philosopher John Kaag discuss the extraordinary
expansion of drone programs from the Cold War to the present day
and their so-called 'effectiveness' in conflict zones. Analysing
the political implications of drone technology for foreign and
domestic policy as well as public opinion, the authors go on to
examine the strategic position of the United States - by far the
world's most prolific employer of drones - to argue that US
military supremacy could be used to enshrine a new set of
international agreements and treaties aimed at controlling the use
of UAVs in the future.
