Question

explain the role of science and technology in international relations..pdf

Answer 1

Science, technology and international affairs affect one another. The impacts of science and technology on international affairs, especially those of information and communication technologies, are particularly pervasive. The mutual influences of science, technology and international affairs are so important and pervasive that the field should be recognized as an independent sub-discipline. Its present status as a relatively esoteric topic, to be entrusted to specialists and kept more or less isolated from the main body of international relations, is a dangerous anachronism.These impacts may be classified as operating through one of four main mechanisms: (1) changing the architecture of the international system: its structure, its key organizing concepts, and the relations among its actors; (2) changing the processes by which the international system operates, including diplomacy, war, administration, policy formation, commerce, trade, finance, communications, and the gathering of intelligence; (3) creating new issue areas, new constraints and trade-offs in the operational environment of foreign policy, a term which includes not only political constraints on international action, but also constraints imposed by the laws of natural and social science; and (4) providing a source of changed perceptions, of information and transparency for the operation of the international system, and of new concepts and ideas for international relations theory.Discover the world's research

  A country is considered to be developed if it has high command over "science and technology". For instance, due to high technological facilities, the USA is considered as the topmost country around the globe. It has the ability to produce highly sophisticated gadgets and weapons to other countries in the world.

  In order to buy such weapons and gadgets, other countries are ready to pay whatever the producers are demanding. The implementation of a strong foundation in the field of "science and technology" will act as a path for smooth relation among the Countries.
