globalization to security globalization with the possibility of further collapsing into a
“global security dilemma”. The policies of some major countries began to change
from focusing on the globalization-driven economic growth to emphasizing national
security factors at the expense of economic efficiency. This prevailing trend is
featured by more distrust in openness and market, mounting strategic competition,
securitization of supply chain and payment network, and increased military
investment and deployment. The fundamental way to save globalization is to place
the world economy back to a relatively high growth trajectory through technological
progress driven by breakthrough innovations, and restore relations between
countries from a “zero-sum game” to a “win-win situation”. Frontier or peripheral
regions enjoy favorable conditions for breaking free from conventions and achieving
breakthroughs in institutional and technological innovations, but their particular
vulnerabilities still persist. Countries should not only launch stimulus policies to
promote innovation in frontier regions, but also strengthen monitoring and
evaluation of the impacts exerted by both hard and soft power on them. While
making good use of international and domestic markets and resources, countries
should make great efforts to attract talents and investments, continue to enhance the
centripetal force in frontier regions, and create a favorable social environment
featuring stability and solidarity to bring into full play their potentials for
breakthrough innovations.

75 Lens of Security: Process and Mechanism of Science and
Technology in Security Issues
YANG Na and CHENG Hongyi

[Abstract] Competition and cooperation in the field of science and technology have
increasingly become one of the core components of interactions between countries.
They are also regarded as key variables that affect international comparison of
national strength, security environment and countries’ external behaviors. The
efforts made by major countries to promote sci-tech development and maintain
competitive edge in science and technology has significantly enhanced the position
of scientific and technological elements in security issues. If science and technology
are considered as “lens of security” that exist in various fields, interactions between
different actors in relation to security and the development of science and
technology can be defined in accordance with the sharing degree of such two
elements as resources and knowledge. Then, an overall framework can be developed
to take into account the overall developmental characteristics of science and
technology, and specific interactions in various fields. Within the framework,
confrontation or competition between actors may arise or cooperation featured by
