About
Johan Eriksson is a leading scholar at the intersection of International Relations (IR) theory and technology studies, with a particular focus on how digital and emerging technologies reshape global politics. His major contribution lies in bridging the gap between traditional IR paradigms—such as realism, liberalism, and constructivism—and the often-overlooked role of technology as a driver of political change. In his highly cited 2021 chapter, "Theorizing technology and international relations: prevailing perspectives and new horizons," Eriksson systematically maps how technology is treated across IR theory, revealing both its marginalization and its potential to transform core concepts like sovereignty, security, and power. This work has garnered 14 citations, establishing him as a key voice in the emerging subfield of technology and IR. Beyond this, Eriksson is known for his interdisciplinary approach, drawing on science and technology studies (STS) to challenge conventional state-centric analyses. His research is particularly valuable for students and scholars seeking to understand how cyber warfare, surveillance, and digital diplomacy are redefining international relations in the 21st century.
