About The Book
This comprehensive Handbook on the Politics of Technology offers a global survey of the intersection between politics and technology. Written by a distinguished group of scholars, the handbook examines various aspects of technology's relationship with politics, including:

• The demand and support for new technologies and innovation by the state

• The effects of technology policies

• Technology development and innovation in different countries and regions

• Policy instruments and techno-industrial innovation

• The dynamism and change that result from government policies

• Driving forces for science and technological development

Drawing on a range of examples, including regional development, country studies, and various technologies, the book also addresses key issues such as the political divergence related to technology and the economic exploitation of technological advances. With a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, the handbook analyzes the complex interplay between government activities and the development of new technologies.

This valuable resource is aimed at students, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of technology politics, public policy, and policy analysis, providing an essential reference for understanding the critical role of technology in shaping global and regional political landscapes.
