On March 12, 2025, the book Technology Transfer to Latin American Countries: Drifting Away from the United States and China? by Sascha Hannig Nuñez, a doctoral student in the Graduate School of Law, was published. This book analyzes the processes behind technology transfer at a state decision-making level in Latin America, challenging the conventional notion that the United States and China hold overwhelming technological influence in the region. Hannig highlights the growing influence of middle powers and regional actors while examining how economic incentives, geopolitical competition, and value-based considerations impact technology transfer outcomes. Furthermore, the book delves into the perspective of a new “Cold War” between the United States and China, revealing how both superpowers attempt to expand their influence through technology transfers but ultimately face limitations due to increasing competition from emerging players. It demonstrates that technology transfer is an economic process and a significant geopolitical tool that deeply affects the international order, national sovereignty, and regional integration.
