1 Introduction: Why Study Drones?
Abstract
Why study drones? As the chapter explains, this is not only an important question, but a vital one. By outlining the different avenues of interest in drone use and the impact drones have had on the practice of war over the last 20 years, the chapter explains why it is necessary to study drones and what this analysis of drones can tell us about the past, present, and future of conflict. As the opening section of this handbook, the chapter also offers an overview of the multidisciplinary approach adopted throughout the volume, the structure of the book, the topics covered, and the high-quality analysis provided by the expert authors.
