Emerging Technologies and International SecurityMachines, the State, and War\nAuthor(s): Reuben Steff, Joe Burton, Simona R. Soare\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367407391, 978-0367407391\nSynopsis\nThis book offers a multidisciplinary analysis of emerging technologies and their impact on the new international security environment across three levels of analysis.\n\nWhile 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.
