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
Senior Researcher, Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies
Max's research focuses on, among other things, the socio-spatial transformation of warfare, the international arms trade, arms control, and the militarisation of outer space.
He holds a PhD from the University of Tübingen, Germany.
