Abstract

Svemir dugo vremena predstavlja interesnu sferu geopolitičkim silama radi postizanja
dominacije u svjetskom poretku moći. Astropolitika je pojam koji se odnosi na politiku vezanu
za svemirski prostor. Hladni rat bio je razdoblje u kojemu se „svemirska trka“ Sovjetskog
Saveza i Sjedinjenih država u istraživanju svemira pokazuje kao produžetak i važno poglavlje
njihove borbe za premoći. Nakon raspada blokovske podjele, a posebno u novom stoljeću,
geopolitička događanja vode militariziranju svijeta. Geopolitičke sile u svemiru nastavljaju
svoju trku za osvajanjem novih područja, iskorištavanjem svemirske tehnologije i energetskih
izvora. Svemirsko naoružanje ima posebnu ulogu u tom natjecanju i ukazuje na to da je
militarizacija budućnost svemira kojom će svjetske sile nastojati ostvariti prevlast na Zemlji.

Abstract (english)

Space has long been a sphere of interest for geopolitical powers as they vie for every
advantage in their quest for global dominance. The political aspect of these activities is
captured in the term "astropolitics". The Cold War period featured the "space race“ between
the USSR and the USA. Each country was very active in space exploration, and this became a
very important extension of their fight for dominance, both in terms of advancing their
technology and in advertising the superiority of their respective socio-political systems. After
the fall of the two-bloc world order, and particularly with the dawning of the new century,
geopolitical events led to renewed global militarization. Geopolitical powers still compete to
conquer and control new areas, including the use of space technologies and the exploitation
of energy resources. Space-based weapons play a special role in this competition.
Militarization thus is the future of space and an important means by which world powers will
attempt to attain political and economic dominance on Earth.
