Importance Of Science Diplomacy

How Countries Sees the Importance of Science and Technology Diplomacy

Introduction

Definition of science in general is the knowledge gained by systematic way about the structure and behavior of all phenomena that exist in nature and its contents. Technology itself is an application of science in response to human demands for a better life. In terminology, as the development of international relations, diplomacy becomes one of the important instruments in the implementation of foreign policy of a country. Because of the needs for technology in today’s era, in diplomacy also there is study to explain it which we know as science diplomacy. Science diplomacy can be defined as the use of scientific collaborations among nations to address common

Author try to give some example of how emerging countries like China and India sees the importance of Science and Technology and how their potential to be as great as United States through Science and Technology Diplomacy. After that one example from developed country like Japan who realized that their country must catch up if doesn’t want to be left out from other developed countries like United States and South Korea, even from emerging countries China and India, and how they efforts in order to be rise again in Science and Technology Diplomacy. Then how about Indonesia? What challenges and opportunities that this country facing in their Science and Technology sector to utilize it as diplomacy towards international field, then how it’s

As has been explained that there is a causal relationship between war, economic growth, and also technology development. When there is a world political constellation in a state of balance of power then every country will do the development of war technology. However, the problem is that technology development is not cheap, so that it can do so usually only in big countries that have a lot of economic resources. So technology development in each country will be different. When a country feels the need for expansion and feels threatened, and feels that the technology that he possesses is much stronger than that of the country that threatens it, it can be a war used to gain interest. Today 's technology development is mostly engaged in microelectronics, Nano technology, biotechnology, robotics and artificial intelligence. Development in the field of course makes new dynamics in the development of the world of security. The scientists even predict that by 2030 the security world will develop products that have the right level of accuracy and destruction that drive conflict. Thus, now the development of information and communication technologies such as the creation of viruses for the benefit of intelligence will be more effective use compared with the development of nuclear technology for military
