The Drone Age

How Drone Technology Will Change War and Peace

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In The Drone Age, Michael J. Boyle examines how the spread of drones worldwide will change the patterns of war and peace in the decades ahead. He argues that drones are subtly altering the decision-making and risk calculus of its users and producing new ways in which states and non-state actors alike can compete for power and influence. In this way, they are beginning to change the dynamics of wars, humanitarian crises and peacekeeping missions and to newly empower actors as varied as militaries, private companies, and terrorist groups. The Drone Age will be an essential guide to drone technology and its potentially disruptive impact on world politics.
