This book explains on what basis a nation can claim the status of
space power, what are the criteria differentiating a space power
from “lesser” space actors, and how their spacepower can be
empirically measured and assessed. To this end, it sets forth a
comprehensive multidisciplinary framework to enable a dynamic
comparison of space actors and of the pathways that lead them in
and out of the space powers’ club. Drawing upon a critical review
of the existing literature, it
conceptualises spacepower as a form of state power
based on the complex interplay between the two defining dimensions
of stateness, namely the well-studied dimension of capacity and the
often neglected yet exceedingly important dimension of autonomy.
The book demonstrates that only actors possessing high levels of
both autonomy and capacity qualify as space powers. Different
levels of either capacity or autonomy produce other types of space
actors, including skilled spacefarers, self-reliant
spacefarers, primed spacefarers, and emerging space actors.
This innovative conceptual framework is complemented by an in-depth
comparative assessment that collects and processes a large amount
of hard-to-find data on the most active global space actors and
aggregates multiple indicators into a compound, non-hierarchical
index of space power visualised in the form of a matrix.
