GREAT TECH GAME: Shaping Geopolitics and the Destinies of Nations

After agriculture | trade | industrialization | colonization and capitalism | technology is arguably the next big shaper of geopolitics in the world. It is increasingly a major determinant of the destiny of nations today and is creating a new set of winners and losers on the global stage. In The Great Tech Game | the author provides a coherent framework outlining the key drivers that will determine the ability of a nation to succeed in this technology-dominant era. He lays out a roadmap for how any country must develop its own strategic plan for success. Leaders must inculcate a new set of capabilities to understand and take advantage of these trends | and create enabling environments for their nations to not be left behind. A particularly challenging aspect will be the ability of countries to define and manage the roles of state and non-state actors in a global race for technological leadership and success.The book goes on to evaluate whether digital colonialism is an inevitable reality | or whether new frameworks will emerge to govern relationships between technology-rich and technology-poor nations.
