Space Power and Meta-Geopolitics

Abstract

Globalization means that the strategic dynamics of the world we live in are changing rapidly.1 As suggested previously, `[g]eopolitics is not and never will be a static science. An important part of geopolitical thinking is the study of international dynamics and new developments that might affect the power of states and power relationships between them'.2 Recent technological progress in transport infrastructures, information and communication tools and, of course, space technologies, has opened new doors but also created additional threats for the international community, thereby altering its existing geopolitical structures.
