Virtual Territories - Technology, Representation, and the State in a Digital Age

Virtual Territories examines the ways in which new digital technologies are changing international politics around cybersecurity, mapping, and drone warfare. The book focuses on the mechanism of representation, which encompasses both how technologies and their capabilities are represented and how technologies produce or alter representations of the world. The analysis reveals implications for the core features of international relations, including the future of the territorial state and the international system itself.
