This book examines the rise of great power competition in space, including the relevant and practical space strategies for China, Russia, the United States, and other countries. The work discusses the concepts and writings of past strategists, such as Thucydides, Sun Tzu, and Clausewitz, in relation to warfare initiated in or extending into space. This analysis underscores why polities initiate war based upon an assessment of fear, honor, and interest, and explains why this will also be true of war in space. Based upon the timeless strategic writings of the past, the book uncovers the strategy of space warfare, along with the concepts of deterrence, dissuasion, and the inherent right of self-defense, and outlines strategies for great, medium, and emerging space powers. Additionally, it highlights changes needed to space strategy based upon the Law of Armed Conflict, norms of behavior, and Rules of Engagement. The work also examines advancements and emerging trends in the commercial space sector, as well as what these changes mean for the implementation of a practical space strategy. Given the rise of great power competition in space, this work presents a space strategy based upon historical experience. This book will be of much interest to students of space policy, strategic studies, and International Relations.

International audience ; This article introduces to an issue that offers a discussion on the authoritarian exercise of power, not on authoritarianism defined as a political regime that seeks to restrict political pluralism. It therefore considers the authoritarian exercise of power in all political regimes, whether they be described as authoritarian or democratic. This authoritarian phenomenon is characterised by a plasticity of practices that range from "cultural hegemony" to the use of force, from the "insidious blandishments of the State" to coercion. The approach the collection takes is highly pragmatic and material, tackling power in its spatial embeddedness and seeking to contribute to the analysis of authoritarian practice by focusing on its spatialisation. This provides a way to re-examine the link between justice and authoritarianism and is an invitation to discuss the obvious presumption of injustice often associated with these political situations

This paper was accepted for publication in the journal International Journal of Migration and Border Studies and the definitive published version is available at https://doi.org/10.1504/IJMBS.2017.083218 ; Is it possible to make illegal migrants intelligible as a force creating social space? What is transit space? Many migration experts seem to ignore the transit space beyond managing geopolitical borders. Much academic literature analyses this space in terms of the migrant's (in)capacity to act. Drawing on this literature, I argue that transit space policies are on the one hand the condition of possibility for a particular kind of illegality of the transit space and the condition of possibility for ephemeral spaces of solidarity/creativity quite different from the places of citizenship (accorded or denied). Geopolitical transit space is intrinsically important to understanding how contradictory mobility practices are constructed. My speculation is informed by a postanarchist perspective and draws on selected ethnographic studies for illustration. Approaching transit space as contradictory constellation makes it political in that abstract logics imposed by the European discursive order interact with ephemeral practices producing violence and solidarity in such a way that what is licit and illicit is thrown open to radical questioning.
