技术进步已经成为国际关系研究的重要议题。以往对技术进步的研究常集中于国内层次的分析。而本项研究试图展示,国际层次的因素,尤其是大国间的权力转移是世界范围内重大技术变迁背后更强有力的驱动力。葡萄牙、西班牙之间的霸权竞争带来了航海技术的改进,推动了地理大发现。而荷兰与英国的霸权竞争带来了科学革命的大发展。因此,要理解重大的技术进步,离不开对大国权力转移的重点关注。
Technological progress has become an important topic in the study of international relations. In the past, the research on technological progress often focused on the analysis at the domestic level. However, this study attempts to show that the factors at the international level, especially the transfer of power between major powers, are the stronger driving forces behind the major technological changes in the world. The hegemony competition between Portugal and Spain brought about the improvement of navigation technology and promoted the discovery of geography. The hegemonic competition between the Netherlands and Great Britain brought about the great development of the scientific revolution. Therefore, to understand the major technological advances, we can not do without our focus on the transfer of power from the big powers.
