    Outer space law faces a critical question: will it escape the historical patterns of territorial control and conflict (nomos and polemos)? This study examines space militarization and its implications for global security.

    Area of Science:

    • International Relations
    • Space Law
    • Military Strategy

    Background:

    • Carl Schmitt's concepts of nomos (territorial order) and polemos (hostility/war) are central to understanding international law and politics.
    • Outer space law traditionally aims for peaceful use, but the potential for conflict and domination raises questions about its applicability in this domain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate whether outer space will be subject to the historical patterns of nomos and polemos.
    • To analyze the intersection of military activities, ethical considerations, and the potential for conflict in outer space.

    Main Methods:

    • Examination of existing outer space law concerning military applications.
    • Analysis of 'the ethics of mankind' in relation to nomos and polemos.

  • Assessment of space militarization, including anti-missile defense and nuclear deterrence.

    • Main Results:

    • Space law's principles are challenged by the increasing militarization and arsenalization of outer space.
    • The concepts of nomos and polemos appear relevant to the future governance of outer space.
    • The dynamics of anti-missile defense and nuclear deterrence highlight the potential for conflict in space.

    Conclusions:

    • Outer space may not escape the historical patterns of territorial control and conflict.
    • The militarization of space poses significant challenges to existing legal and ethical frameworks.
    • Urgent consideration of space governance is needed to prevent conflict and ensure peaceful use.
