Cover Story: How do states turn digital innovation into strategic power? As great powers compete over technological dominance, their approach to governing national innovation ecosystems plays a decisive role. This article offers a cultural–institutional framework to explain how different state models—constructive, hybrid, and obstructive—shape the structure and vitality of digital ecosystems. Through a comparative analysis of the U.S., China, and Russia, it shows how states’ orchestration of government, industry, and academia not only affects innovation performance, but ultimately shapes the global distribution of power. View this paper
