High Technology and India-Japan Strategic Cooperation
February 3, 2021
Associate Fellow Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Titli Basu’s article ‘High Technology and India-Japan Strategic Cooperation’ has been published in Australian Outlook (AIIA) on February 3, 2021.
Geopolitics and technology are deeply intertwined in the digital age, where technology contributes to national power. As the race for tech dominance intensifies in the Sino-US systemic competition, stakes are high for other major powers. Liberal democracies should unite to chart common rules, norms, and standards governing emerging technologies. Balancing developmental priorities and wealth creation, national security challenges, and cost-competitiveness of technology present hard choices. But it also opens new opportunities for policy elites in India and Japan to tap into the transformative potential of strategic technology driving redistribution of power in international relations, writes Dr. Basu.
