Abstract

This research paper examines the close relation between technology and power, the latter one being one of the objects of the study of geopolitics. National power, including military power, is affected by perceptions as well as the environment in which it is measured. The growing importance of technology is undeniable, especially when you view it from the geopolitical, globalization and the north - south breach perspectives. A balance should exist between the country's technology and the technology of its Armed Forces. The importance of technology indicates that in the near future, it will be considered as a new factor of national power.
