lt;p>Why are we willing to believe that technology can bring about war... but not peace?

 PeaceTech: Digital Transformation to End Wars is the world's first book dealing with the use of technological innovation to support peace and transition processes. Through an interwoven narrative of personal stories that capture the complexity of real-time peace negotiation, Bell maps the fast-paced developments of PeaceTech, and the ethical and practical challenges involved.

Bell locates PeaceTech within the wider digital revolution that is also transforming the conduct of war. She lays bare the 'double disruption' of peace processes, through digital transformation, and through changing conflict patterns that make processes more difficult to mount. Against this backdrop - can digital peacebuilding be a force for good?  Or do the risks outweigh the benefits?

PeaceTech provides a 12-Step Manifesto laying out the types of practice and commitment needed for successful use of digital tools to support peace processes. 

This open access book will be invaluable primer for business tech entrepreneurs, peacebuilders, the tech community, and students of international relations, informatics, comparative politics, ethics and law; and indeed for those simply curious about peace process innovation in the contemporary world.


lt;b>Christine Bell is Professor of Constitutional Law and Assistant Principal (Global Justice) in the Edinburgh Law School at the University of Edinburgh, UK. She has managed digital and PeaceTech innovation through a major large-scale research programme, as an expert in the field of peace processes and constitution-making. She is a longstanding academic and practitioner in peace processes around the world, working with a team of researchers to create the PA-X peace agreements database (www.peaceagreements.org) which has pioneered 'peace analytics' and process data relating to peace and transition processes. She has also retrained in digital innovation.

There is a wealth of information about how technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics are changing the conduct of contemporary warfare.  Both books stress that ethics should never be an afterthought of digital peacebuilding practice, but that they should be integrated into PeaceTech developments from the start. anyone interested in the future developments that digitalization may bring to contemporary dynamics of conflict and peace will find these books to provide valuable and timely insights.
