| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines the development of international civil aviation from 1910 to 1939 at four international conferences from 1910 to 1928. The impact of civil aviation technology on the geopolitical position of the United States, Britain, and Germany is the main focus at these conferences. In order to give the reader a full background on the relationship between technology and geopolitics, this thesis examines the development of the modern state in Chapter I. Chapter II explores three periods of civil aviation technology advancement, with Chapter IV evaluating the relationship between civil and military aviation. Chapters V through VIII investigate the four international civil aviation conferences. Chapter IX concludes by explaining the three principles surrounding my argument for technogeopolitics, with examples from the four conferences. | en |
