Yeni uluslararası ekonomik iş bölümü bağlamında teknoloji yoğun üretim ve ekonomik gelişme

Technological developments have a shaping and essential effect on the international system and the transformation of the international economic division of labour. Industrial developments from the industrial revolution to the present have brought production systems using technology with them. Taylorist-Fordist production methodologies left their place to the post-Fordist process in the 1970s. Increasing globalization and development of information technologies in the ongoing process paved the way for a new transformation. In recent years, it has observed that there has been a transition to a new economic division of labour with the contributions of the Industry 4.0 process. In this thesis, it has tried to be put forward that technology-intensive production, which emerged as a result of industrialization, has positive effects on economic development. In this context, seven developed and developing countries located in Asia and East Asia were selected, and these countries were evaluated in two groups. The four countries selected to the first group (China, Japan, South Korea and Singapore) by applying the deductive method were approached by the direct proof method. In the first group, the positive correlation between technology-intensive production and economic development, which is the main argument of the thesis, is put forward. In order to understand the correlation between technology-intensive production and economic development, not only the data indicating the economic situation of the selected countries but also their historical processes and integration processes into the international economic system have examined. The countries in the second group (India, Indonesia and Taiwan) were evaluated according to the method of proving the contrary to the argument indirectly, depending on the deductive method, and it supported main argument. The second group of countries is selected from countries with high economic growth data but low levels of economic development and industrialization to support the main argument. In the context of Modern World Systems Theory and Dependency Theory, the position of countries in the new international economic division of labour has examined. In order to draw attention to the ecocide caused by the industrial process in the world, the transition to green economies has examined, and the programs of China and India for the green economy have evaluated.
