Brookings reflects on the Chips and Science Act signed in August by President Biden and land inequalities in the US.
The subject is highly topical, not only in the US and not only as a contrast to other global players (China, in particular). Inequalities, in fact, are the phenomenon that, within states and globally, endangers the overall sustainability of worlds and of the world.
Here it is interesting to focus on the relationship between technological innovations and territorial development, starting with the importance of mapping places in relation to systemic inequalities.
Reducing inequalities is increasingly necessary to maintain social cohesion and to improve the systemic competitiveness of countries. This is why we insist on developing a ‘glocal’ perspective of international relations, working politically to govern the transitions of global phenomena in territories.
These transitions will be sustainable if the territories are cohesive, also thanks to technologies. Today, in the midst of an obvious political unsustainability of the planet, investing in glocalisation is crucial.
