Reposted by Cornell Tech Policy InstituteSrinjoy Bose @srinjoybose.bsky.social · 20/03/2026How do various forms of dehumanization shape public support for drone warfare? We address this question by articulating an original typology of dehumanized warfare (forms of dehumanization + types of drones, which informs our survey design). @cornellbtpi.bsky.social papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....papers.ssrn.comDehumanization and Public Support for Drone WarfareDrone warfare can dehumanize targets. Does this affect public support for drones, and if so, how? We address this question by administering a survey experiment 011
