The Impact of Technology on the Formation of World Order

Abstract

In fact, technology is one of the main determining factors in shaping relations between nations, along with wars and economic shifts. It remains a key tool for promoting economic development and national security. In the past, technological developments gave us the Industrial Revolution, which created the modern international system. Technologically advanced industrial nations have amassed and exercised their enormous economic and military power. They were to establish their supremacy over the less developed parts of the world and effectively create a hierarchy among nations. In the modern era, the emergence of technology has dramatically changed the means of communication between people, resulting in improved well-being and developed social order. Modern technological processes have facilitated the production of essential resources. At the same time, it should be noted that the EU's efforts are aimed at co-financing research and investments. However, the EU's particular focus differs significantly from the dominant approaches of the United States and China. The evolution of technology has always been a cornerstone in breaking down trade barriers and enabling cross-cultural communications. It is worth noting that the technology landscape is profoundly shaping the new world order. We believe that the world in the 21st century will be defined by the advancement of technology. Also, the United States, China, and the European Union are at the forefront of global technology development, and each of them seeks technological superiority for national security and economic strength. However, it must be said that the United States remains a global leader in basic sciences. The largest companies in US and the EU dominate additional digital platform technologies. Technological advances in the military, economic, and cultural spheres have significantly changed the dynamics of modern global geopolitical dynamics. The development of artificial intelligence, in particular, has allowed countries to modernize their weapons arsenals. In addition, state-backed technology organizations benefit from a steady stream of investment directed at the development of military systems. Future standards for big technologies like artificial intelligence, semiconductors, telecommunications, and computing infrastructure will impact stock markets for decades. Global competition between superpowers is intensifying due to rapid technological advances in military fields. Nations are fighting to gain superiority on land, sea, air, space, and in military capabilities, as well as in new areas such as biotechnological warfare. The technologies that have the greatest economic impact globally are those that revolutionize industries and lifestyles. Technological giants like ,,Apple’’ and ,,Google’’ have successfully transformed industries, disrupting local market players with their innovative disruption. Finally, in the information epoch, technological progress has contributed to the advancement, transformation, and rise of the economy and society. Technology has quickly become a source of great hope and power. The perception of security, in turn, has changed radically and the nature of war has been fundamentally transformed. The growth of new technologies has given rise to new forms of security risks, ethical dilemmas, and considerations.
