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.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書解釋了一個國家可以基於什麼理由聲稱其為太空強國，區分太空強國與「較小」太空行為者的標準是什麼，以及如何對其太空實力進行實證測量和評估。為此，本書提出了一個全面的多學科框架，以便對太空行為者及其進入或退出太空強國俱樂部的途徑進行動態比較。通過對現有文獻的批判性回顧，本書將太空實力概念化為一種基於國家性兩個定義維度之間複雜相互作用的國家權力形式，這兩個維度分別是已被充分研究的能力維度和經常被忽視但極其重要的自主性維度。
本書展示了只有同時擁有高水平自主性和能力的行為者才能被認定為太空強國。能力或自主性的不同水平會產生其他類型的太空行為者，包括熟練的太空旅行者、自給自足的太空旅行者、準備好的太空旅行者和新興的太空行為者。這一創新的概念框架通過深入的比較評估得以補充，該評估收集並處理了大量難以獲得的數據，涵蓋了全球最活躍的太空行為者，並將多個指標匯總成一個複合的、非階層的太空實力指數，以矩陣的形式進行可視化。
