Technology & New Forms of Warfare

Abstract

This panel examines how emerging technologies are transforming the nature, conduct, and governance of warfare across physical, cognitive, and political domains. Bringing together research on maritime violence, civil war forecasting, autonomous systems, drone warfare, and cognitive operations, the panel explores how technological innovation reshapes not only how violence is exercised, but also how it is anticipated, experienced, regulated, and sometimes prevented.
