Arms and Influence: U.S. Technology Innovations and the Evolution of International Security Norms: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Arms and Influence: U.S. Technology Innovations and the Evolution of International Security Norms" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Arms and Influence explores the complex relationship between technology, policymaking, and international norms. Modern technological innovations such as the atomic bomb, armed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and advanced reconnaissance satellites have fostered debates about the boundaries of international norms and legitimate standards of behavior. These advances allow governments new opportunities for action around the world and have, in turn, prompted a broader effort to redefine international standards in areas such as self-defense, sovereignty, and preemptive strikes.In this book, Jeffrey S. Lantis develops a new theory of norm change and identifies its stages, including redefinition (involving domestic political deliberations) and constructive norm substitution (in multilateral institutions). He deftly takes some of the most controversial new developments in military technologies and embeds them in international relations theory. The case evidence he presents suggests that periods of change are underway across numerous different issue areas.

Acknowledgments

THIS BOOK EXPLORES HOW CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGICAL innovations have helped alter the international political landscape. It is the product of more than five years of research. I am indebted to a number of institutions and individuals for their support. My work as a Fulbright Senior Scholar in Australia in 2007 was the genesis of an exploration of norm change as an elite-driven process. I held joint appointments in the Department of International Relations in the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies at the Australian National University and the School of Social Sciences and International Studies at the University of New South Wales. I credit valuable discussions with Chris Reus-Smit, then chair of the department at ANU, and colleagues at both institutions for helping me to define elements of the model.
