This volume looks at current and emerging technologies of war and
some of the ethical issues surrounding their use. Although the
nature and politics of war never change, the weapons and
technologies used in war do change and are always undergoing
development. Because of that, the arsenal of weapons for
twenty-first century conflict is different from previous centuries.
Weapons in today's world include an array of instruments of war
that include, robotics, cyber war capabilities, human performance
enhancement for warriors, and the proliferation of an entire
spectrum of unmanned weapons systems and platforms. Tactical
weapons now have the potential of strategic results and have
changed the understanding of the battle space creating ethical,
legal, and political issues unknown in the pre-9/11 world. What do
these technologies mean for things such as contemporary
international relations, the just-war tradition, and civil-military
relations? Directed at readers in the academic, scientific,
military, and public policy communities, this volume offers current
thought on ethics and emerging technologies from
internationally-recognized scholars addressing the full spectrum of
issues in present warfare technology. It includes current and
ongoing topics of multi-discipline and international interest, such
as ethics, law, international relations, war studies, public
policy, science and technology. This book was originally published
in various issues and volumes of the Journal of Military Ethics.
