Vorwort
Emerging technologies such as AI, machine learning, robotics, and digital platforms are increasingly integrated into security sectors, promising enhanced capabilities. This volume examines the role of these technologies in promoting peace, resilience, and regional stability in the South Caucasus. The papers explore how digital innovations intersect with national security strategies, societal resilience, and conflict resolution mechanisms. They discuss challenges and applications in the South Caucasus, highlighting the need for legal frameworks, oversight, and technological adaptation for peacebuilding and security resilience. The role of the digital divide, cyber threats, drone surveillance, blockchain, and big data analytics is explored in the context of conflict prevention, peacekeeping, and regional stability. The papers also analyse the EU civilian monitoring missions’ technological modernisation and the geopolitical implications of technology in conflict zones. The volume concludes that while technological tools offer immense promise for conflict prevention, their success depends on governance, participation, and commitment.
