About

Antoine Bousquet is a lecturer in International Relations at Birkbeck, University of London. He is the author of "The Scientific Way of Warfare: Order and Chaos on the Battlefields of Modernity" (Columbia University Press, 2009), an enquiry into the influence of major scientific paradigms and key associated technologies on the theories and practices of warfare in the modern era. His research interests include the relationship of war and society, political violence, the history and philosophy of science and technology, complexity theory and international political theory. His work has also been published in a range of peer-reviewed academic journals including International Affairs, the Cambridge Review of International Affairs, Millennium: Journal of International Studies, Cold War History, and the Journal of International Relations and Development. His main current research project is entitled 'The Martial Gaze' and constitutes an investigation into the transformations of vision and perception in warfare, as manifested in the colonisation of the electro-magnetic spectrum, the development of cartography and geo-informatics, and the increasing role of camouflage and stealth technologies.
