This volume offers an innovative and counter-intuitive study of how and why artificial intelligence-infused weapon systems will affect the strategic stability between nuclear-armed states. Johnson demystifies the hype surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of nuclear weapons and, more broadly, future warfare. The book highlights the potential, multifaceted intersections of this and other disruptive technology - robotics and autonomy, cyber, drone swarming, big data analytics, and quantum communications - with nuclear stability. Anticipating and preparing for the consequences of the AI-empowered weapon systems are fast becoming a critical task for national security and statecraft. Johnson considers the impact of these trends on deterrence, military escalation, and strategic stability between nuclear-armed states - especially China and the United States. The book draws on a wealth of political and cognitive science, strategic studies, and technical analysis to shed light

The law of the sea is an up to date and comprehensive treatment of its subject. It begins by tracing the historical origins of the law of the sea and discussing its sources, notably the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. This is followed by chapters examining the various maritime zones, namely internal waters, the territorial sea, archipelagic waters, the contiguous zone, the continental shelf, the exclusive economic zone, the high seas and the international seabed area. In each case the legal nature of the zone and the way that it is delineated are analysed. The later part of the book discusses how international law regulates the safety of navigation, fisheries and scientific research and provides for protection of the marine environment from pollution and biodiversity loss.
