Great State Powers in the Technological Revolution Sector

Industrial revolutions change the international distribution of power between states, businesses, and citizens. In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, China and the United States are competing for the technological dominance that will determine who will be the leader of the future, while the European Union struggles not to be left behind in the race. To be a great power, it will be necessary to achieve technological sovereignty, dominate activities of high economic value, attract the most qualified workers, and avoid unfavorable asymmetrical dependencies. At a time of uncertainty due to populism, trade protectionism, and techno-nationalism, the transition between the old and the new industrial system is taking place, which will give birth to a technological society with new great powers.
