Technology has always played a central role in international
politics; it shapes the ways states fight during wartime and
compete during peacetime. Today, rapid advancements have
contributed to a widespread sense that the world is again on the
precipice of a new technological era. Emerging technologies have
inspired much speculative commentary, but academic scholarship can
improve the discussion with disciplined theory-building and
rigorous empirics. This book aims to contribute to the debate by
exploring the role of technology - both military and non-military -
in shaping international security. Specifically, the contributors
to this edited volume aim to generate new theoretical insights into
the relationship between technology and strategic stability, test
them with sound empirical methods, and derive their implications
for the coming technological age. This book is very novel in its
approach. It covers a wide range of technologies, both old and new,
rather than emphasizing a single technology. Furthermore, this
volume looks at how new technologies might affect the broader
dynamics of the international system rather than limiting the focus
to a stability. The contributions to this volume walk readers
through the likely effects of emerging technologies at each phase
of the conflict process. The chapters begin with competition in
peacetime, move to deterrence and coercion, and then explore the
dynamics of crises, the outbreak of conflict, and war escalation in
an environment of emerging technologies. The chapters in this book,
except for the Introduction and the Conclusion, were originally
published in the Journal of Strategic Studies.
