| Abstract | ||
| This research explores the evolving role of digital technology in the context of international conflicts. With the rapid development of cyberspace, artificial intelligence, data surveillance, and digital propaganda, modern warfare and geopolitical rivalry have taken on unprecedented forms. This study analyzes how states and non-state actors are increasingly utilizing digital tools to exert influence, wage information warfare, disrupt infrastructures, and manipulate global narratives without direct military confrontation. Through a structured, inferential approach, the research investigates the theoretical foundations, practical mechanisms, and strategic consequences of digital engagement in conflict. The study also examines real-world case studies to highlight the transformative impact of digital technologies on international power dynamics, national sovereignty, and global security. The research relies on a descriptive and analytical approach, collecting and analyzing information from various sources, including academic studies, international reports, and specialized articles on digital technology and international conflicts. The research also uses a deductive approach to understand the relationship between the development of digital technology and changes in the nature of conflicts, with a focus on analyzing practical cases and field studies to support the proposed hypotheses. | ||
