DescriptionThe intersection of technology, geopolitics, and the international political economy (IPE) reshapes the global landscape. As technological advancements like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and digital currencies evolve, they drive economic change and influence global power dynamics. The rise of tech giants, the competition for technological supremacy, and the growing importance of cybersecurity have introduced new dimensions to traditional geopolitical struggles. These developments challenge established economic systems, disrupt global trade patterns, and redefine the role of states in a highly interconnected and competitive world. As countries navigate this shifting terrain, understanding the complex interplay between technology, geopolitics, and IPE becomes crucial to analyzing both current power structures and future trajectories of global governance. Technology, Geopolitics, and the Transformation of International Political Economy explores the interplay between algorithms, economic structures, and geopolitical power dynamics in the contemporary world. It examines how algorithms and digital technologies reshape global power structures, impact economic relations, and influence the future trajectory of capitalism. This book covers topics such as political science, trade growth, and digital currency, and is a useful resource for economists, business owners, government officials, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and political scientists.
