Taking Sovereignty out of this World: Space Weapons and Empire of the Future

by: Raymond Duvall, and Jonathan Havercroft

In: Review of International Studies, Vol. 34, Nr. 04 (2008) , p. 755--775.

Abstract

Programs to deploy weapons in orbital space have important implications for international relations. In this paper, we analyse the constitutive logic of three modes of space weaponisation currently being pursued by the US -- space-based missile defense, space control, and force application from orbital space. We show that these technologies of killing, when bundled together, constitute a new form of centralised sovereign power in a context of de-territorialised sovereignty. This is a new type of international political society, which we call empire of the future, distinct from and more ominous than the de-centralised form of Empire theorised by Hardt and Negri and the modern expression of classical hegemony now widely debated in discussions of putative American empire.
