Der Vortrag wird von Prof. Dr. Hans-Jürgen Bieling gehalten und ist Teil der Vorlesungsreihe "Infrastructure, Capitalism, and Dependency in the Digital Age".

This lecture explores the growing intersection between infrastructure policy and geoeconomics in the context of globalization. It introduces the concept of the "infrastructure-geoeconomic nexus" to explain how developments in global infrastructure are influenced by financialized high-tech capitalism and shifting power dynamics, particularly between the U.S. and China. It further investigates how these forces reshape infrastructure across transportation, energy, and digital communication and discusses how these changes can be conceptually framed and empirically analyzed.
