In \u003ci\u003eTechnology and the Rise of Great Powers\u003c\/i\u003e, Jeffrey Ding offers a different explanation of how technological revolutions affect competition among great powers. Rather than focusing on which state first introduced major innovations, he investigates why some states were more successful than others at adapting and embracing new technologies at scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on historical case studies of past industrial revolutions as well as statistical analysis, Ding develops a theory that emphasises institutional adaptations oriented around diffusing technological advances throughout the entire economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExamining Britain's rise to preeminence in the First Industrial Revolution, America and Germany's overtaking of Britain in the Second Industrial Revolution, and Japan's challenge to America's technological dominance in the Third Industrial Revolution (also known as the 'information revolution'), Ding illuminates the pathway by which these technological revolutions influenced the global distribution of power. He explores the generalisability of his theory beyond the given set of great powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis findings bear directly on current concerns about how emerging technologies such as AI could influence the US-China power balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432794833132,"sku":"9780691260341","price":57.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691260341.jpg?v=1774766479"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jeffrey-ding.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
