In this volume, contributors from academia, industry, and policy explore the inter-connections among economic development, socio-political democracy and defense and security in the context of a profound transformation, spurred by globalization and supported by the rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICT). This powerful combination of forces is changing the way we live and redefining the way companies conduct business and national governments pursue strategies of innovation, economic growth and diplomacy.Integrating theoretical frameworks, empirical research and case studies, the editors and contributors have organized the chapters into three major sections, focusing on cyber-development, cyber-democracy and cyber-defense.The authors define cyber-development as a set of tools, methodologies and practices that leverage ICT to catalyze and accelerate social, political and economic development, with an emphasis on making the transition to knowledge-based economies. One underlying understanding here is that knowledge, knowledge creation, knowledge production and knowledge application (innovation) behave as crucial drivers for enhancing democracy, society, and the economy. By promoting dissemination and sharing of knowledge, cyber-democracy allows a knowledge conversion of the local into the global (gloCal) and vice versa, resulting in a gloCal platform for communication and knowledge interaction and knowledge enhancement. Meanwhile, technology-enabled interconnectivity increases the need to adopt new methods and actions for protection against existing threats and possible challenges to emerge in the future. The final section contemplates themes of cyber-defense and security, as well as emerging theories and values, legal aspects and trans-continental links (NATO, international organizations and bilateral relations between states). Collectively, the authors present a uniquecollection of insights and perspectives on the challenges and opportunities inspired by connectivity.

Geopolitical Challenges to the Global Influence of Western Society examines complex shifts, exploring how emerging forces, from geopolitical realignments to technological innovations and demographic changes, are redefining global power structures.Exploring the decline of Western-centric dominance, alongside the rise of new power centers such as BRICS nations and regional powers, chapters assess the evolution of international governance and supranational institutions, the role of energy resources, the impact of trade disputes, and technological advancements that are reshaping international relations. Through an interdisciplinary lens, discussion spans the challenges posed by populist movements, migration, and shifting economic dynamics, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of the underlying forces that threaten the existing world order. Authors provide thorough historical context and current analyses of global trends, making a case for why a nuanced understanding of these factors is crucial for both scholars and policymakers. As new geopolitical alliances form, and the influence of Western nations faces unprecedented challenges from emerging powers, this book offers fresh insights into the mechanisms driving these changes and their potential future impacts.Focusing on providing in-depth case studies and real-world examples, this publication contributes significantly to the fields of political science, international relations, and global governance, making it an essential resource for academics, researchers, policymakers, and business leaders.
