Abstract

This paper deals with the role of competition and technological domination in changing the world order. It points out that there are constraints in the major Asian economies, which could hamper their ambitions of building technological dominance. Acknowledging that competition and monopolisation dominate the history of technological development in global capitalist history, the paper points to the necessity of international cooperation in meeting contemporary global challenges and staving off new forms of devastating warfare.
