Inhaltsangabe

PeaceTech: Digital Transformation to End Wars, second edition looks at how digital transformation is being used to support peace and transition processes, at a moment when war is on the rise.  This Open Access book combines an overview of transformative technologies and their key PeaceTech applications, with an account of how practices of production shape what PeaceTech is and can do.  This new edition is updated with the latest innovations in mobile phone and app technology, geographic information systems, satellite technology, ‘peace analytics’ (data-analytics in the peacebuilding field), and Artificial Intelligence. It illustrates their key peacebuilding applications such as support to local peacebuilding projects, large-scale ‘Conflict early warning systems’, and peace mediation support, examining also the ethical and moral issues that arise.
