The article presents an original graphic demonstrating the relationship between and mutual influence of technological innovation on international relations. The graph presented is an original foundation for a method of international relations forecasting based on a techno political prognosis and analysis. The significance is to contribute to the attempt to create a new comprehensive theory in political science. The new theoretical approach also yields new theories. Intermediary variables influenced by these two primary causal factors are the form of the polity (regulatory institution) at national and global levels, the economic development pattern, and scientific and international relations paradigms. A recommendation is made to pursue technological innovation that will enable the establishment of the desired governance forms and relations at all levels from the local to the international. A discussion of the network mechanism of governance and its characteristics is the peak of the current technological and political innovations. The network institutional form transitions the industrial society to the informational era.
