About
Jeremy Rabkin is a leading scholar in international law and security studies, whose work probes the intersections of legal frameworks and emerging military technologies. His research focuses on how cyber warfare, autonomous systems, and space-based weapons are reshaping the rules of armed conflict. In his highly influential book, *Striking Power: How Cyber, Robots, and Space Weapons Change the Rules for War* (2017), Rabkin argues that traditional laws of war, designed for conventional state-on-state conflict, are ill-suited to the rapid, decentralized nature of modern digital and robotic warfare. This work, cited over 26 times, has become a cornerstone for debates on legal adaptation in the age of artificial intelligence. Beyond this, Rabkin is known for his critical perspectives on international institutions, often challenging the efficacy of treaties and global governance in regulating state behavior. His scholarship has been instrumental in shaping policy discussions on sovereignty, deterrence, and the ethical limits of military innovation. For students and researchers, Rabkin offers a provocative lens on how law must evolve—or risk irrelevance—in a world of cyberattacks and autonomous drones.
