Julia Hofstetter and Boas Lieberherr argue in their contribution to the Bulletin 2019 that new technologies offer great innovation potential for peacebuilding. At the same time, the application of these technologies represents a challenge for many actors. In order to fully exploit the potential, peace actors must play a more active role in the development and integration of such technologies. According to the authors, this requires a deeper exploration of the relationship between technology and its socio-political context as well as new structures and platforms. Further, when it comes to the latter in particular, Switzerland can make an important contribution as an established peace actor and technology hub.
