Abstract
Russian state (alleged) interference in the 2016 US presidential election constitutes the sort of concrete example of how automated and autonomous information technologies may effect outcomes in political economy. Moreover, this concrete example strikes at the conception that there is or should be a clear demarcation between international and national politics/security. Automated and autonomous information technologies have rendered such a division as antiquated, at best, nonsensical, at worst. Perhaps more alarming is whether or not democracy will be able to survive in an era where politics is now digital. Without concerted and transnational policies initiating the sort of collective action called for in this collection, may prove to difficult a firewall to breach.
