Thucydides Trap

When describing the Peloponnesian War, the Greek historian Thucydides explains that Sparta, unable to tolerate Athens's growing power, decided to wage war against Athens. Political scientist Graham Allison analyzes the role of the “Thucydides Trap” in the history of international relations. It is a theory that expresses the risk of conflict between a rising power and the existing hegemonic power. The Thucydides Trap theory has started to be discussed a lot, especially as a danger of changing relations due to the weakening of the US commercial power, Russia’s aggressive stance and China’s increasing military, scientific and commercial power, especially in the last 10 years when relations between countries changed after World War II. So, is the Thucydides danger only valid for international relations? Don't the destructive effects of technological developments on social strata and the possibility of getting out of control from time to time reveal the same dangers in other ways? Don't especially the social behavior changes arising from the development of social media and the democratization of information flow, the spread of false information, the increase in intergenerational tension, create potential Thucydides traps in other areas? We are in a global ice age… It is time to discuss a new constitution that should be valid for the whole world. The leading artificial intelligence critics in the USA talk about the restrictions that the American government should impose. The People's Republic of China already imposed the necessary restrictions when it created its artificial intelligence constitution. However, today, the increasing fluidity between countries, the democratization of artificial intelligence programs and their spread to all kinds of countries, does not keep the issue solely under the monopoly of dominant countries. I think that the real trap will be, not in a few years, between the management systems that insist on the current structure and the generation that can adapt to accelerating change and new habits. This will further increase the tension. We will gradually begin to see how inadequate the rules and regulations of nation-states are.
