Details about International Security Studies and Technology: Approaches, Assessments, and Frontiers New Horizons in International Relations series:

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.
