Technology and Security: Governing Threats in the New MillenniumBrian Rappert "Technology and Security is designed to take forward the existing state of understanding where security and technology intersect. Its principal objective is to assess the challenges posed by emerging scientific and technological developments for security while understanding how perceptions of security threats are themselves formed in relation to conceptions of science and technology. It consists of contributions from academics and military practitioners utilising theories and perspectives across political science, international relations, history, sociology, science and technology studies, and security studies."--Jacket. |
