World politics has become highly polarised, and a new world war has become more likely. The United Nations’ 2024 Pact for the Future expressed concerns about ‘the growing risks of a nuclear war which could pose an existential threat to humanity’. Will humanity descend into barbarism, or will we realise the dangers of our global problems, weapons of mass destruction, and climate catastrophe to avoid annihilation and create perpetual world peace?
In World War and World Peace in the Age of Digital Capitalism, Christian Fuchs asks: how do violence and war manifest themselves in global digital capitalism? How do digital capitalism and digital technologies manifest themselves in violence and warfare? What are the prospects for world peace today?
To prevent world war and advance world peace we need a better understanding of war and violence and their contexts and causes. We need to ask what war is, what violence is, what war and peace look like today and how they have changed in the 21st century. This book addresses these urgent questions and provides possible answers.
