Science, Technology, And Art in International Relations
This volume brings together original chapters, plus 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 International Relations. There is science, technology, and even artistry in the conduct of warand 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.

Her research addresses the intersection of political theory, popular culture, and international relations, with a focus on the intersections of online and offline assemblages. In these intersections the world becomes more complex, equally filled with humor and despair, and unexpected connections emerge. Her research takes advantage of a wide variety of texts and approaches: science fiction novels, short stories, Medieval Welsh tales (in the original Welsh and in translation), blogs, web forums, and traditional philosophical and theoretical pieces.
Madeline Carr is Associate Professor of International Relations and Cyber Security at University College London. Her research looks at the ways in which new technology both reinforces and disrupts conventional frameworks for understanding International Relations and the implications of this for state and global security, order, and governance. Madeline has published on cyber norms, Internet Freedom, multi-stakeholder Internet governance, and the public/private partnership in national cyber security strategies (research funded by the British Council). Her book US Power and the Internet in International Relations is published with Palgrave MacMillan. Madeline is a co-lead on the Standards, Governance and Policy stream of the UKs 24M PETRAS research hub on the cyber security of the Internet of Things. She is also the PI on an EPSRC funded (480K) project looking at the ways in which cyber security policy-makers evaluate evidence and an EPSRC funded (500K) project on Embedding Cyber Security in Organizational Decision-making. Madeline was selected in 2014 for the Welsh Crucible as a future research leader and is a multi-award-winning teacher.
