This book offers a multidisciplinary analysis of emerging
technologies and their impact on the new international security
environment across three levels of analysis. While recent
technological developments, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI),
robotics and automation, have the potential to transform
international relations in positive ways, they also pose challenges
to peace and security and raise new ethical, legal and political
questions about the use of power and the role of humans in war and
conflict. This book makes a contribution to these debates by
considering emerging technologies across three levels of analysis:
(1) the international system (systemic level) including the balance
of power; (2) the state and its role in international affairs and
how these technologies are redefining and challenging the state's
traditional roles; and (3) the relationship between the state and
society, including how these technologies affect individuals and
non-state actors. This provides specific insights at each of these
levels and generates a better understanding of the connections
between the international and the local when it comes to
technological advance across time and space The chapters examine
the implications of these technologies for the balance of power,
examining the strategies of the US, Russia, and China to harness
AI, robotics and automation (and how their militaries and private
corporations are responding); how smaller and less powerful states
and non-state actors are adjusting; the political, ethical and
legal implications of AI and automation; what these technologies
mean for how war and power is understood and utilized in the 21st
century; and how these technologies diffuse power away from the
state to society, individuals and non-state actors. This volume
will be of much interest to students of international security,
science and technology studies, law, philosophy, and international
relations.
