This paper examines issues of sovereignty and militarization of space, opening with a theoretical consideration of the issue through the eyes of International Relations theory. The authors engage with the notion that the US alone is apt to develop an effective space weaponization project. The authors argue that space weaponization structurally constitutes a new type of imperial power through the counteracting forces of centralization of the sovereign power of decision-making and de-territorialization of sovereignty.
