The crisis in the palm of our hand: smartphones in contexts of conflict and care

Swedish National Defence University

Research output: Other contribution › Internet Publication › Research

Abstract

Smartphones are everywhere, present in daily life, yet their impact on global crises and conflicts often goes unnoticed. Research published in the July 2024 issue of International Affairs shows how these devices influence crises and the way they unfold. Held by billions across the globe, smartphones are far more than tools for communication—they shape how we experience and react to the major events around us.
