Abstract
Technological evolution has impacted foreign policy decision-making processes at the micro level by facilitating data gathering and speeding up decision-making processes, thus adding another window on government behavior and international conflict. A technology-driven skill revolution has also contributed to the emergence of new actors (non-governmental organizations and individuals), and technological evolution has reshaped armed conflict and related decision-making processes.
