Study On National Security Of Sciences And Technology Under The Perspective Of Geopolitics Of Science And Technology

The major purpose of this dissertation is to come up with the concept of"Geopolitics of Science and Technology"and to define its content and framework of analysis. We have a strong sense that we remind and urge people of the clear awareness of eseence of international relations, comprehensive national strength competition, the key role of science and technology in the comprehensive national strength, competitive dimension of international science and technology relations and the consciousness of national science and technology security. Geopolitics of Science and Technology studies the relationship between science and technology and international politics and world ecnomy with nation-state as the core and basic unit of analysis and strategic subject. As the natural response to the international anarchy, it represents the realist value and method in international relations.Inspired by the concepts and methods of geopolitics and geo-economics, this dissertation aims to highlight the color of national interest and realist perspective in the dimension of science and technology. The basic target is to be both an analysis of the systematic conceptualization of Geopolitics of Science and Technology and a reminder of the realist and zero-sum thinking and practice still prevailing in the field of science and technology.The starting point of Geopolitics of Science and Technology lies with the relationship between science and technology and comprehensive national strength. Because in an international anarchy, each nation-state has to be on its own and the international relations thus have to correspond with repespective comprehensive national strength of nation-states. Based on the conceptual analysis of comprehensive national strength, we define the role of science and technology in the evolution of comprehensive national strength and relationship between science and technology as one factor and other factors of comprehensive national strength. We try to prove that during the current evolution of comprehensive national strength, the factor of science and technology is a decisive and leading force that largely dominates the compositon of comprehensive national strength. In the lens of geopolitics of science and technology, the assessment and evaluation of the strength of science and technology and the comprehensive national strength dominated by the science and technology strength is vital to for nation-sate to understand itself and its relations with the rest of the world. This evaluation is the base to make grand strategy. With the awareness of this logic, this dissertation explores the theories and methods of assessing the science and technology strength and the comprehensive national strength. Indicators and models of assessing and evaluation are being developed.One key topic of Geopolitics of Science and Technology is how the science and technology as the leading force decides and shapes the positoning of states, especially major states in the international hierarchy or structure. This issue boils down to the issue of relationship between innovaton and international power shift or change of structure in international politics. The core theme in this regard by Geopolitics of Science and Technology is that it is the leadship or dominance in science and technology innovaton that resulted in the leadership or hegemony in international structure. This conclusion is of great implication to state's thinking and strategy in terms of developing their science and technology as priority.In the era of Geopolitics of Science and Technology, the issue of national science and technology security has become a key element of comprehensive national security. In the process of globazation and the world system of Geopolitics of Science and Technology, the relationship between science and technology and national security is actually the issue of national science and technology security. This security is both closely linked with a state's positoning in the world stage and increasingly with prosperity and wellbeing of people at home. The study of national science and technology security under the framework of Geopolitics of Science and Technology sufficiently and precisely expresses its passion in application to the policy implications and suggestions.
