This situation can be analyzed in three basic layers:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1-Transition from Geographical Boundaries to Data Boundaries:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe territorial polarization of the classic Cold War era is giving way to \u201cdata and technology ecosystems\u201d. The psychological advantage gained by the Asian side over Iran may shift the center of gravity of other regional states (the Global South) to the east, which remain undecided as the West's myth of technological invincibility is shaken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2-Digital Domains:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe world is no longer divided only by ideologies, but by which infrastructure is used.<br \/>\n-On the one hand, \u201cWestern Techno-Feudalism\u201d centered in Silicon Valley,<br \/>\n-\u201cAsian Techno-Capital\u201d integrated with the state on the other side\u201d<br \/>\nAs in the case of Iran, the winner of the psychological war between these two ecosystems has the power to set the standards for everything from cybersecurity to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3-Transformation of the Role of States:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe concept of \u201chegemony\u201d that I always emphasize in my articles comes into play here. States no longer survive only through military power, but through the digital protection shields offered by these technological networks (platforms). Asia's victory in this round will directly affect the choice of nation states on \u201cunder whose protection\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To summarize briefly;<br \/>\nThis is driving the world not towards two main poles, but towards a \u201cdigital feudalism\u201d that is multi-partite but revolving around two main technological suns. Asia's psychological superiority has ended the West's claim to be the \u201cuniversal technological standard\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Will this psychological victory be enough in the long run to render the West's instruments of financial hegemony (SWIFT, etc.) completely useless? Time will tell.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asya\u2019n\u0131n bu raundu kazanmas\u0131, ulus devletlerin &#8220;kimin korumas\u0131 alt\u0131na girece\u011fi&#8221; konusundaki tercihini do\u011frudan etkileyecektir.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":284845,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[286],"tags":[289],"class_list":{"0":"post-284844","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-yazarlar","8":"tag-manset"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284844"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284844\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":284846,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284844\/revisions\/284846"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
