The Remote Revolution: Drones and Modern Statecraft

By Erik Lin-Greenberg (Cornell University Press, 2025). In "The Remote Revolution," Erik Lin-Greenberg shows that drones are rewriting the rules of international security, but not in ways one would expect. Leveraging diverse types of evidence from original wargames, survey experiments, and cases of U.S. and Israeli drone operations, Lin-Greenberg explores how drone operations lower risks of escalation.
