Technologies of International Relations cover

This book examines the role of technology in the core voices for International Relations theory and how this has shaped the contemporary thinking of ‘IR’ across some of the discipline’s major texts. Through an interview format between different generations of IR scholars, the conversations of the book analyse the relationship between technology and concepts like power, security and global order. They explore to what extent ideas about the role and implications of technology help to understand the way IR has been framed and world politics are conceived of today. This innovative text will appeal to scholars in Politics and International Relations as well as STS, Human Geography and Anthropology.


“Volume is ‘a promising field report, rich in evidence and detailed insights, curious quotes and inspirational thoughts’ … . the book has all these qualities and is a must-read for scholars who are interested in technology's effects on IR both in terms of practice and discipline. The book would also be interesting and helpful for PhDs and early career academicians as it … offers crucial insights form distinguished IR scholars.” (Huseyin Emrah Karaoguz, Rising Powers Quarterly, Vol. 3 (3), 2018)
