Description

This Routledge book explores how humanitarian applications of new digital technologies, including biometrics, remote sensing, and surveillance drones, reshape assistance delivery and security outcomes. Drawing on Foucault's theoretical framework combined with insights from Science and Technology Studies, the work examines three detailed case studies that reveal the paradox at the heart of humanitarian tech adoption. While digital innovations promise efficiency and reach for vulnerable populations, this scholarly analysis demonstrates how well-intentioned implementations often produce unintended consequences, exposing recipients to additional risks rather than alleviating them. The Politics of Humanitarian Technology provides critical perspectives on the gap between technological promise and on-the-ground reality, making it essential reading for researchers, development professionals, policymakers, and students studying conflict, security, technology and international development.

Explores biometrics, remote sensing and surveillance drones as examples of contemporary humanitarian tech adoption.

Part of the Routledge Studies in Conflict, Security and Technology series for academic credibility and scholarly positioning.
