The Research On Interrelationship Between Science And Technology Innovation And Development Of Geopolitical Theories

The three Science and technology revolutions, the foundation of military power and overall national power, which took place in the history of mankind have changed the face of the whole world rapidly, and play a central role in promoting the development of human society. For realistic level , each revolution and its achievements are not only influence the formation and development of the international system, push the variety of international structure, but also have an effect on the nation's status in the international community. From the theoretical perspective, mankind is still unable to extricate itself from the geopolitical factors and its activity under the current technological condition. If we want to realize and analyze this problem clearly, we will need the support of the theory. As the most active factor, science and technology influences and constraints to the development of geopolitics. Accompany with its development, the major scientific and technological achievements will change the landscape and features of geopolitics in reality. Meantime, the varieties of technological conditions make geopolitics switching among different space. Therefore, science and technology also promote the development of the theory of geopolitics theoretically. Although scholars, who do research the theory of international relations, have realized that technology, geography and international politics closely linked, concerning that the technology has a significant impact on the geopolitical theories. But how science and technology exert influence on the theory of geopolitics, that is to say, what is the mechanism specifically, the previous study have not been fully covered. In addition, when discuss the history of the development of a country's science and technology, we mainly focus on technological development influence in economic, military, international relations and international structure, as the technology impact on the development of geopolitical theory is less than research.This paper will begin with the basic terminology; core content and development progress of the geopolitical theory, and mainly adopt historical analysis method. Not only analyze three technological revolutions and the rise of the results, discuss its influence of morphology and evolution, but also have a study on its modern state and future development trends in depth. Research shows that the emergence of three scientific and technological revolutions has brought continual progress of technology, which push the study of geopolitical theory into deep field. New technology means new geopolitical space. Meanwhile, it also implies new research contents and the expansion of the scope of geopolitical theory. The angle of geopolitical theory moves from the single of the first and second revolutions in terms of science and technology to multi-dimensional geopolitical theory. In addition, science and technology plays an important and core role in the development of geopolitical theory. As a dominant factor, to some extent, it can determine the development of international relations. Except what I have mentioned above, this essay discusses the practical significance of the science and technology on the geopolitical theory, and investigates new scientific and technological revolution to China's geopolitical guidance.
