The twenty-fourth issue of Australian Foreign Affairs explores how new technologies have emerged as an economic and industrial battleground, and as a key means of projecting power globally.

As consumers turn to Chinese software and devices, and Silicon Valley giants dominate global markets and communications, Tech Wars looks at the emerging security, privacy and financial risks and asks how Australia can achieve greater technological independence.
