International Security Studies and Technology applies an interdisciplinary perspective to the study of emerging technologies and issues related to their development, governance, laws, ethics, understanding, and (mis)use, considering their impact on international security and established international norms. Bringing together a diverse collection of experts, Tobias T. Gibson and Kurt W. Jefferson analyse international security and technology through three conceptual frameworks: approaches, assessments, and frontiers. The book examines the real-life impacts of new technologies on national security, warfare, military doctrine, and geopolitical security alliances across various environmental and human security contexts. Exploring intelligence, information control strategies, cybersecurity, child labour trafficking and chemical and biological weapons, it builds a deeper understanding of the applied aspects of security and technology. The book concludes with a discussion of how science fiction and the silver screen, the future of space in international security, the ethics of autonomous weapons, and American presidential war powers are all affected by the boundaries of technological advancements in the context of international security. This book is vital for students and scholars of security, international relations, AI and technology, politics and public policy, and regulation and governance. Its practical applications are also beneficial to international security lawyers and policy advisors.

This volumes strength is that it combines discussion of more conventional security topics with newer and emerging areas of inquiry. It offers thought-provoking insights into a wide array of international security topics. It will be of interest not only to specialists, but also to broader audiences with a curiosity about the many ways in which technology can both enhance and undermine international security. -- Marijke Breuning, University of North Texas, US At a period of increasing uncertainty and even peril across the globe, when American leadership is needed more than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis half a century ago, this bringing together of the top experts in their fields is both important and timely. Technological advances are speeding up exponentially, even though our capacity to direct and even sometimes comprehend them are not, and this book is a noble attempt to close that dangerously yawning gap. As the world moves into a higher gear in the clash between autocracy and democracy, the profound thought found in these chapters which explain clearly the role that technology will play in deciding the outcome could not be more vital. -- Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny It is a truism that we live in a period of rapid and unsettling technological change. This collection of thoughtful essays explores many dimensions of how those changes will shape international security policy. It is a timely and extremely useful collection, well worth the time of those who want to know how humanitys inventions may make us more or, unfortunately and more likely, less secure. -- Eliot A. Cohen, Johns Hopkins SAIS, US
