Digital War offers a comprehensive overview of the impact of
digital technologies upon the military, the media, the global
public and the concept of 'warfare' itself. This introductory
textbook explores the range of uses of digital technology in
contemporary warfare and conflict. The book begins with the 1991
Gulf War, which showcased post-Vietnam technological developments
and established a new model of close military and media management.
It explores how this model was reapplied in Kosovo (1999),
Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003), and how, with the Web 2.0
revolution, this informational control broke down. New digital
technologies allowed anyone to be an informational producer leading
to the emergence of a new mode of 'participative war', as seen in
Gaza, Iraq and Syria. The book examines major political events of
recent times, such as 9/11 and the War on Terror and its aftermath.
It also considers how technological developments such as unmanned
drones and cyberwar have impacted upon global conflict and explores
emerging technologies such as soldier-systems, exo-skeletons,
robotics and artificial intelligence and their possible future
impact. This book will be of much interest to students of war and
media, security studies, political communication, new media,
diplomacy and IR in general.
