metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Contemporary international relations as well as the life of an individual as we know it would
  not be possible without the three Industrial revolutions. They have occurred in the course of the last three hundred years of human history and came to be part of a single continuous process
  of changing technological waves. Each revolution defined how people would live, work,
  and communicate with one another. Each industrial revolution set the dynamics for international
  relations and created new political conflicts. The fourth industrial revolution that we are
  going through today is also accompanied by geopolitical rivalry and develops exponentially,
  not in a linear projection. It pierces through all layers of human activity and runs the risk of
  changing the very nature of humans. The character of modern-day technology makes it hard
  to perceive it through the lens of a mere consumer since technology impacts us as citizens and
  deals with the three key concepts for people throughout their history: justice, freedom, and
  power. The author hypothesizes that the three concepts are closely interlinked with the three
  main megatrends of technology’s influence over politics respectively, — the call for a new
  social contract, the problem of localization of big data and the associated pursuit of states for
  digital sovereignty, and the development of artificial intelligence. Therefore, the present work
  is an attempt to outline some key trajectories in how the new technological wave fractures the
  three concepts and how all of this impacts international relations.
