Marius Bales and Max Mutschler argue that precision weapons do not protect civilians. Indeed, in autocratic systems, they can make civilian suffering more targeted. In eroding democracies such as Israel and the US, weakening checks on executive power may also loosen military restraint
PhD Researcher, Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies
In his research, Marius focuses on how the proliferation of modern military technology transforms warfare of autocratic states and non-state armed groups.
His regional focus is the Middle East, where he has conducted field research several times.
Marius is currently writing his doctoral thesis at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany.
