Dominance and Technology War

Kai Konrad

Working Papers from Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance

Abstract: Three regimes of technology leadership are compared. Firstly, technological innovation in a unipolar world with one dominant coun try that can sell its technology to a set of small countries. Secondly, competition for leadership between two large countries, with small countries that are independent. Thirdly, a decoupled world in which all small countries are allied with one or the other big country. Small nations fare best when they are independent and large nations engage in leadership competition. Great power nations prefer unipolar leader ship. If there are two big nations, they prefer a decoupled world that is partitioned into zones of ináuence, compared to competing with each other.
