This book focuses on current trends in development, arguing that
the digital revolution will shape today's race for global
supremacy. The volume explores how the technological race, driven
by AI advances, will decisively contribute to shaping a new world
order. Every leap in technological advancement changes the rules of
the game and initiate new cycles of economic growth. The main
argument of the authors is that these changes are particularly
intense in Eurasia, the main geopolitical hotspot at the moment.
Starting from recent statistical data, the authors underline this
new ascent of the Asian continent - a shift that can be best
described as a historical change of relay not between two
countries, but between two continents. Lastly, the volume discusses
the consequences of these shifts in power and influence, by
reflecting on the possible new world order to follow. Effectively
providing an overview of the challenges that will decisively shape
future geopolitical relations, this volume will be of use to
researchers and students interested in globalization studies,
international relations, geopolitics, and development.
This open access book explores the most recent trends in the EU in
terms of development, progress, and performance. Ten years after
the 2008 economic crisis, and amidst a digital revolution that is
intensifying the development race, the European Union, and
especially Central and Eastern Europe, are ardently searching for
their development priorities. Against this background, by relying
on a cross-national perspective, the authors reflect upon the
developmental challenges of the moment, such as sustainable
development, reducing inequality, ensuring social cohesion, and
driving the digital revolution. They particularly focus on the
relation between the less-developed Eastern part of the EU and its
more developed Western counterpart, and discuss the consequences of
this development gap in detail. Lastly, the book presents a range
of case studies from different areas of governance, such as economy
and commerce, health services, education, migration and public
opinion in order to investigate the trends most likely to impact
the European Union's medium and long-term development.
