Abstract

In this text, 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.

Abstract

What impact will drone technology have on the patterns of war and peace in the next century ? Will drones produce a more peaceful world because they reduce risk to pilots, or will the prospect of clean, remote warfare lead governments to engage in more conflicts ? Will drones begin to replace humans on the battlefield or will they empower soldiers and peacekeepers to act more precisely and humanely in crisis zones ? How will terrorist organizations turn this technology back on the governments that fight them ? How will drones change surveillance at war - and at home ? As drones come into the hands of new actors - foreign governments, law enforcement, terrorist organizations, humanitarian organizations and even UN peacekeepers, it is even more important to understand what kind of world they might produce. This book explores how the unique features of drone technology alter the strategic choices of governments and non-state actors alike by transforming their risk calculations and expanding their goals on and off the battlefield. By changing what these actors are willing and capable of doing, drones are quietly altering the dynamics of wars, humanitarian crises and peacekeeping missions while generating new risks to security and to privacy. An essential guide to a potentially disruptive force in modern world politics, this book argues that the mastery of drone technology will become central to the ways that governments and non-state actors seek power and influence in the coming decades.
