Technology and World Politics will introduce students to different approaches to technology in global politics through a survey of traditional and emerging theoretical approaches to the subject. 'This is a fascinating book. It really covers the state of the art in IR research that is at the intersection with work in other fields that consider the intersections of science, technology, and society. The introductory chapters on different approaches to technology studies will be useful to anyone in IR who is unfamiliar with the broader field and most of the chapters on specific technological issues are outstanding.' - Professor Craig N. Murphy, Wellesley College, USA 'This superb volume strikes new ground in its interdisciplinary approach to technology and global politics. It advances productive intellectual engagements with the sociotechnical systems that characterise our world. Essential reading for anyone interested in the complexities of technology, society and international relations in the 21st century.' - Tim Stevens, Department of War Studies, King's College London, UK
