Abstract

This chapter offers an analysis and discussion of disruptive technology and revolutions in military affairs. It explores factors that influence technology adoption and analyzes whether certain legal and diplomatic responses (e.g., treaties, bans, and prohibitions) to weapons innovations are an effective governance tool for limiting proliferation. Examining the outcome of governance tools on the adoption and proliferation of technology can elucidate trends, uncover relationships, and inform better approaches to international security, diplomacy, and policy. Knowing what relationships exist is important to developing a clear picture of viable options and possible leverage points. Investigating the interaction between technology and governance enhances the knowledge base from which national security decisions are made and may contribute to increased effectiveness in governance approaches. Making the best, most inform decisions, is an imperative aspect in maintaining superiority.
