GEOPOLITICS OF TECHNOLOGY: A NEW BATTLEGROUND?
研究了全球地缘政治风险与技术之间的因果关系，发现两者相互影响，地缘政治约束推动技术发展，而技术竞争又加剧地缘政治风险，对政策制定者和国际关系学者有参考价值。
This study aims to consider the causality between global geopolitical risk (GPR) and technology (TEC) using the rolling window approach. The results reveal that GPR has a significant impact on TEC across different sub-samples. It points out that GPR increases TEC and both are highly integrated and the geopolitical constraints are pivotal to TEC development. On the other hand, TEC leads GPR due to competition between countries for geopolitical dominance and security. The results back the Becker Model, which reveals that divergence of interests between countries drive TEC competition and systematically associated with GPR in a country. The international community should create a mechanism that supports interoperability and the states should pay attention to TECs that are critical to economic and strategic interests in the long run. Moreover, the states could enhance cooperation with the private sector which is an important determinant.
