Descriere Techno-Nationalism: How It's Reshaping Trade, Geopolitics and Society - Alex Capri

Essential perspective on the emerging role of techno-nationalism in global relations, trade and geopolitics TECHNO-Nationalism holds that a nation's security, economic competitiveness and social stability are linked to the technological prowess of its institutions and enterprises. Alex Capri draws upon decades of experience in US-China commerce and reveals how techno-nationalism has accelerated Washington and Beijing's cold war. You'll see, firsthand, how the world is moving away from an open-market trading system of the past 70 years, and reverting to a fragmented, murky form of neo-mercantilism. This is a paradigm shift driven by the rise of China Inc. The author presents high profile cases involving Huawei and other companies to demonstrate how techno-nationalism will disrupt not only global value chains for deep technologies such as semiconductors, AI and robotics, but also for data management and digital platforms. This will have a pervasive effect on everything from the automotive to the pharmaceutical industries. From a trade perspective, you'll learn how the global system is fracturing and coalescing into different blocs, each tethered to unique standards and values regarding the applications of technology. TECHNO-Nationalism lays out scenarios involving strategic decoupling, reshoring and ring-fencing of industries. All of this compels multinational businesses and policy makers to reorient efforts around corporate governance and diplomacy. As a primer, the author takes you on a tour-de-force of the origins of Techno-nationalism and shows how it has profoundly shaped today's modern world. He then puts this in the context of China's rise as a technology superpower and examines, among other things, the rapid expansion of Beijing's techno-authoritarian model around the world. These developments have sparked countermeasures from the world's liberalized markets and democracies, but also present a conundrum for companies that rely on China, both as a market and as vital link in their value chains. From a geopolitical perspective, the author's flowing narrative serves up a trove of insights on China's digital belt and road and other initiatives, including a growing US-EU Trans-Atlantic technology alliance. It shines a spotlight on the future of the Five Eyes Alliance and how other key countries such as India, Taiwan, Japan - and outlier states such as Singapore and Israel - could play a role in a shifting technology landscape.
