This chapter investigates the relation between Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) and Soft Power at the country level. To develop this discussion, first, we review the literature on the concept of Soft Power through Joseph Nye's theoretical analysis and its recent interpretation by.1 Both argue that Soft Power is a diffuse tool of power through cultural and symbolic aspects. The role of STI in enhancing Soft Power and its influence in the international arena is updated through available recent literature. Data analysis is based on figures collected from the Global Innovation Index (GII) and its Special Chapter of Science and Technology Clusters and Soft Power 30. It was oriented to investigate the influence of STI in obtaining Soft Power, broadening the debate on recent literature. The research shows that although gaining Soft Power also requires culture/education, international policies, and universalistic values, STI plays an essential role in Soft Power.

Der Autor beschreibt am Beispiel der Mikroelektronik in Japan quantitative Effekte (z.B. Sinken der Arbeitslosigkeit) und qualitative Entwicklungen, die er in einer durch neue Technologien verursachten Anreicherung von Arbeitsinhalten sieht. Näher diskutiert werden die Wirkungen auf den Arbeitsmarkt (Erhöhung der Flexibilität), das Lohnsystem (Transformierung vom Prinzip der Orientierung des Lohns am Lebensalter und an der Firmenzugehörigkeit zum Leistungslohn) sowie das Verhältnis zu den Gewerkschaften (die zunehmend die berufliche Weiterbildung im Bereich neuer Technologien unterstützen).

The research will discuss about the impacts of technology disruption in international relations. This study aims to increase awareness about several disrupted areas in international politics, particularly in security niche. It will also examine technology disruptions in Indonesia as one of the Global South countries and see the gaps between South and North relations in the field of cyber security. This article also argues that multidiscipline and multi-stakeholder approach through cyber diplomacy is the most feasible solution to tackle the issues arising from technology disruption.
