This book explores and analyzes the rapid pace of technological
evolution in diplomatic, information, military, and economic
sectors, which has contributed to a dynamic international policy
environment. Global political stability is greatly influenced by
innovations originating from numerous sources, including university
labs, the technology sector, and military research. Collectively,
these innovations guide the movement of people, ideas, and
technology that in turn affect the international balance of power.
The objective of this volume is to develop new insights into how
the proliferation of innovative ideas, low-cost weapons, and
dual-use technologies impact the changing global security
landscape. Innovative and dual-use technologies can be used for
beneficial purposes or defensive purposes. Alternatively they may
be appropriated or employed for nefarious purposes by hostile
military powers and non-state actors alike. Such actions can
threaten global security and stability. As the complexity of
technological innovations continues to increase, existing control
mechanisms such as international regulations and security
arrangements may be insufficient to stem the tide of proliferation
over time. As such, this works seeks to assess and present policy
solutions to curtail the threat to global stability posed by the
proliferation of weapons and dual-use technology.
This book explores and analyzes emerging innovations within today's
most cutting-edge science and technology (S&T) areas, which are
cited as carrying the potential to revolutionize governmental
structures, economies, and international security. Some have argued
that such technologies will yield doomsday scenarios and that
military applications of such technologies have even greater
potential than nuclear weapons to radically change the balance of
power. As the United States looks to the future - whether dominated
by extremist groups co-opting advanced weapons in the world of
globalized non-state actors or states engaged in persistent
regional conflicts in areas of strategic interest - new adversaries
and new science and technology will emerge. Choices made today that
affect science and technology will impact how ably the US can and
will respond. Chapters within the book look at the changing
strategic environment in which security operations are planned and
conducted; how these impact science and technology policy choices
made today; and predictions of how science and technology may play
a beneficial or deleterious role in the future. Some game changing
technologies have received global attention, while others may be
less well known; the new technologies discussed within this
proposal, as well as future discoveries, may significantly alter
military capabilities and may generate new threats against military
and civilian sectors.
