(Ebook) China, the USA and Technological Supremacy in Europe by Csaba Moldicz ISBN 9780367652500, 0367652501

This book explores how technological competition is linked to the geopolitical contest between the United States and China, and why Europe and the European Union (EU) have become involved in this competition for technological
supremacy.
China’s political and economic rise, the concurrent US withdrawal from the region, and the rise of new technologies such as 5G and AI create a new and more unstable geopolitical environment in the region. In addition, the EU, far from being a global player, finds it increasingly difficult to play a leading role. This book analyzes the nature of the ultimate goal of technological competition between the United States and China and shows how and why did the EU become the center of this struggle. The author argues that the EU has become the new battlefield of the technological struggle since wealthy societies in the EU make this competition attractive and profitable to both the US and China.
By shedding light on the geopolitical motivations of China and the question of whether the US can contain China’s advance in this domain, the book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of international relations and political science as well as policymakers and analysts employed by diplomatic services, multilateral organizations, and nongovernmental organizations.
