For two millennia, rowed galleys were used to project power at sea, but ever-new military technologies have disrupted international relations and the law of naval warfare.

Zusatztext
This book is the definitive authority on approaching technological innovations that are already disrupting the traditional categories of actors and situations in the law of naval warfare. It should be required reading for all policy practitioners, government decision-makers, and international lawyers now wrestling with characterizing legal consequences from factual ambiguities introduced through "maritime militias," unmanned maritime systems, lethal autonomous warfare, and dual-use technologies.
