Abstract

The secrets of major international political decisions are no longer determined solely by individual insights or traditional assessments; technology has become today the primary and dynamic driver of international decision-making. It has transformed from a mere tool for communication and information exchange into a strategic force capable of reshaping the global policy map and redefining the balance of power among international actors. Technological transformations have profoundly influenced the nature of societies and inter-state relations, as the current digital era is characterized by satellites, high-speed communications, and advanced information technologies, granting states and institutions unprecedented capabilities to collect data, analyze it, and make real-time decisions. Modern theories in international relations and global politics have emerged to focus on understanding the impact of digital technology and informational transformations on power, security, sovereignty, and international interaction, reflecting the new dynamics of the digital world. Furthermore, these dynamics are influenced by ideological behaviors linked to new capitalism, redefining the role of states and non-state actors and highlighting technology as a decisive element in shaping international policies.
