About
Dr. A. Walter Dorn is a leading scholar in the fields of international peacekeeping, conflict resolution, and the application of technology to peace and security. His major contributions center on expanding the conceptual and practical "toolbox" for the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and United Nations peace operations. Dorn’s work is pioneering in its exploration of how emerging technologies—including digital information systems, algorithmic forensic data analysis, autonomous surveillance vehicles, advanced robotics, and multispectral sensors—can be harnessed to avert war, enhance peacekeeping effectiveness, and support peacemaking initiatives. His 2016 paper, "New Technology for Peace & Protection: Expanding the R2P Toolbox," though with 4 citations, represents a seminal framework for integrating these innovations into global security architecture. Dorn’s research has influenced policy discussions at the UN and among international security practitioners, demonstrating how technological advances can transform traditional peacekeeping into more proactive, data-driven, and protective operations. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of technology, human rights, and international peace and security.
