They were the result of new techniques of mass-production, huge in scale, and powered by new motive resources like steam and electricity. Yet successful adapt…
Technology and International Systems
This essay develops a theoretical framework for understanding the connection between technological transformations and change in the international system and puts the information revolution in its proper context — as another in a line of technology-system transformations. The analysis proceeds in two steps: first I conceptualise technology as politics. Technology is inherently political in at least two ways: the construction of technologies is su…

Second, the eff…
