Scientific and technical development and its global political and security consequences

Despite the fact that majority of world's public presumably doesn't follow current development of problem-solving in natural sciences very closely, results of the research in these highly specialized branches of knowledge have had profound imact on everyday life of entire mankind even over the period of the last century; this thesis describes the effects of this phenomenon on the political and security level. This thesis shows that not only apparently strategic-related fields of research affect the relations within the global community, but that even the pieces of knowledge produced by seemingly strictly academic scientific disciplines have significant effects on this problematic. Thus, political and security situation is profoundly affected by discoveries in modern mathematics, by applications of contemporary findings in physics and chemistry, as well as by sciences concerned with further exploration of the planet Earth and also by those natural sciences that deepen understanding of humankind. Also, we can presume that importance of these scientific disciplines shall not grow lesser in the future; in fact, both the development of knowledge itself and its significance for the international community can be expected to bring on many challenges that will have to be dealt with by foremost scientists as well as by representatives of various countries and international organizations.
