Trend Geotechnomics: geopolitics, technology and economics converge into one change dynamic
Summary
The report's organizing claim is that geopolitics, technology and economics no longer move as separate domains but as one coupled dynamic it calls geotechnomics, which unsettles the working assumptions of the international system: how that system operates, who counts as a player, where power comes from, and how a middle power can protect its interests.
