Techno-Security Space Innovation
Techno-security innovation is a crucial but overlooked phenomenon in the study of the development of the space sector. This chapter offers analytical insights and approaches drawn from the broader examination of defense innovation and techno-security innovation that can be applied to the space domain. A number of key characteristics of techno-security space innovation can be discerned that include the catalytic role played by external threat perc…
A conceptual framework of defence innovation
Gaining a decisive technological edge is a never-ending pursuit for defence establishments. Intensifying geo-strategic and geo-economic rivalry among major powers, especially the U.S and China, and the global technological revolution occurring in the civilian and military domains, promise to reshape the nature and distribution of global power. This article provides a conceptual framework for a series investigating the state of global defence inno…
North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs
North Korea’s strategic weapons innovation system is exemplary of an authoritarian mobilization model. The top leadership prioritizes the program and mobilizes the country’s science, technology, and heavy industrial resources around key programs. Key to success are investments in a defense industrial infrastructure that runs from basic research and development to applied R&D, product development, and linked production capability. Although foreign…
Commentary on Asian arms industries and impact on military capabilities
This paper shows how alliance networks have affected defence industrialization policies and processes in countries in the Asia-Pacific region. In countries that enjoyed security assurances from the United States like Japan and South Korea, they are primarily focused industrialization and technology development in civilian sectors, and consequently, defence industrialization is a secondary priority. On the other hand, defence industrialization was…
Innovation in China’s Defense Technology Base
China’s defense science, technology, and industrial system has been undergoing a far-reaching transformation over the past two decades and the single biggest factor behind this turnaround is the role of external technology and knowledge transfers and the defense industry’s improving ability to absorb these inputs and convert into localized output. China is pursuing an intensive campaign to obtain defense and dual-use civil–military foreign techno…
Fortifying China
Fortifying China explores the titanic struggle to turn China into an aspiring world-class military technological power. The defense economy is leveraging the country's vibrant civilian economy and gaining access to foreign sources of technology and know-how. Drawing on extensive Chinese-language sources, Tai Ming Cheung explains that this transformation has two key dimensions. The defense economy is being reengineered to break down bureaucratic b…
Trade Versus Security
Apart from a short period in the 1980s, the People's Republic of China has been almost completely excluded from access to military and sensitive dual-use civilian-military technologies from the United States and its allies. But in an era of globalization and convergence in the civilian and military technological domains, this compartmentalization of the economic and security arenas has become increasingly difficult to maintain and justify. Major …
Gathering Pacific Storm
China's Emergence as a Defense Technological Power
China is beginning to flex its expanding military and strategic clout in the pursuit of its broadening national security interests. At the same time, the country's economic and technology policies
The Chinese Defense Economy's Long March from Imitation to Innovation
China's defense economy has been vigorously developing a comprehensive set of innovation capabilities that will eventually allow it to join the world's top tier of military technological powers. China's target is to catch up by 2020. Although this maybe possible in a few select areas, the defense economy as a whole will likely require another decade or more to successfully master the ability to produce major innovations of a radical nature. This …
The Origins of the Developmental State in Taiwan - By J. Megan Greene
The Origins of the Developmental State in Taiwan . Cambridge, MA : Harvard University Press . xiv + 238 pages. ISBN 9780674027701 , $49.95 cloth . J. Megan Greene . 2008 . Megan Greene has written a fascinating if incomplete study of the uncertain place of science and technology (S&T) in the formative stages of the development of the Republic of China (ROC). Using the case of state-sponsored S&T policy to examine the question of how Taiwan became…
Dragon on the Horizon
China's grand ambition is to become a world-class military industrial power by 2020, but can it succeed? A concerted restructuring of the defense industry is taking place to tackle deep-seated obstacles constraining its ability to absorb, create and diffuse technological innovation. This includes promoting competition and creativity by reducing the reach of the state and encouraging enterprises to play a leading role, developing a robust regulato…
