Worldviews in Science, Technology and Art in International Relations

Worldviews in Science, Technology and Art in International Relations

This volume brings together 19 original chapters, plus four substantive introductions, which collectively provide a unique examination of the issues of science, technology, and art in international relations.  The overarching theme of the book links global politics with human interventions in the world:  We cannot disconnect how humans act on the world through science, technology, and artistic endeavors from the engagements and practices that together constitute IR.  There is science, technology, and even artistry in the conduct of war – and in the conduct of peace as well.  Scholars and students of international relations are beginning to explore these connections, and the authors of the chapters in this volume from around the world are at the forefront.
