It has become generally accepted wisdom that democracies do not go
to war against each other. However, there are significant
differences between democratic states in terms of their approach to
war and security policy in general. This edited book offers a broad
examination of how democratic preferences and norms are relevant to
security policy beyond the decision of whether to go to war. It
therefore offers a fresh understanding of state behaviour in the
security realm. The contributors discuss such issues as defence
policy, air war, cluster bombs, non-lethal weapons, weapons of mass
destruction, democratic and non-democratic nuclear weapon states'
transparency, and the political and ideological background of the
ongoing 'Revolution in Military Affairs'. It has become generally
accepted wisdom that democracies do not go to war against each
other. However, there are significant differences between
democratic states in terms of their approach to war and security
policy in general.

Looking at a variety of armament sectors, the book examines how
Artificial Intelligence (AI) impacts the fields of armament and
arms control, how existing arms control measures will be affected
by AI, and what new approaches based on AI have been or are
currently developed. The significant increase in computing power,
the increasing reliance on software, and the advent of (narrow) AI
and deep-learning algorithms all have the potential to lead to
disruptive changes for military operations and warfare, rendering
many classical arms control instruments less effective, or even
useless. On the other hand, AI might lead to completely new arms
control approaches, raising the effectiveness and reliability of
new verification measures. To provide a common understanding, the
book starts by presenting a general introduction to the state of
the art in artificial intelligence and arms control, and how the
two topics are interrelated. The second part of the book looks at
examples from various fields of weapon technology, including
weapons of mass destruction (WMD), conventional armament, and
emerging technologies. The final section offers a cross-cutting
perspective based on the examples presented in the second part.
This volume will appeal to students and scholars of international
relations, as well as policy-makers and practitioners interested in
a better understanding of peace and security studies in general,
and armament and arms control in particular with a strong focus on
AI.
