This article outlines historical shifts in US and Canadian space policies using the sanctuary-contested policy framework. It highlights how sanctuary policies were born out of necessity rather than the pursuit of a peaceful global commons; they were never intended to, and did not, prevent the militarization and weaponization of space. The paper then describes challenges to global space governance and argues that diplomacy will not prevent conflicts in space. After introducing elements of deterrence theory, this paper concludes that Canada should move beyond the sanctuary ideology, make space a national whole-of-government issue, and align its space policy and strategy with allies and partners, credibly communicating Canada's resolve to protect and defend space assets. It further recommends that Canada develop niche capabilities that contribute to more effective national and collective deterrence and defence in space. Those capabilities should build upon existing niche strengths, not create space debris, and leverage industrial innovation in space.

RESUMEN:Al introducir brevemente el estado de situación socioecológico actual que ha derivado en la propuesta de la época del Antropoceno, pero también de otras conceptualizaciones como la del cambio ambiental global y las fronteras (ecológicas) planetarias, se revisan los alcances y limitaciones teórico-conceptuales de la idea del Antropoceno. Posteriormente, se ofrece una lectura crítica de los retos que trae consigo la expansión del espacio urbano bajo la lógica del capital, ello en tanto configuración principal del espacio en la denominada época del Antropoceno. En ese sentido y desde una lectura crítica, propia de la geografía política urbana y la ecología política urbana, se discute entorno al carácter especulativo de la producción contemporánea del espacio urbano y sus principales implicaciones socioecológicas, mismas que se expresan de manera desigual. Se concluye con una reflexión en torno a las características básicas de una eventual transición urbana hacia modalidades ambientalmente menos devastadoras y socialmente más justas e incluyentes.ABSTRACT:By introducing the current socio-ecological state that has led to the proposal of the Anthropocene epoch, but also to other conceptualizations such as the global environmental change and the (ecological) planetary boundaries, this paper briefly analyses the theoretical-conceptual scope and limitations of the idea of the Anthropocene. It continues with a critical reading of the challenges that the expansion of urban space brings with it under the logic of capital accumulation; indeed, the main configuration of space under the so-called Anthropocene epoch. The speculative character of contemporary production of urban space and its main socioecological implications, which take place in an uneven manner, are thus discussed from a critical perspective of urban political geography and urban political ecology. The paper concludes with a deliberation on the basic characteristics of an eventual urban transition towards environmentally less devastating and socially fairer and more inclusive modalities of urban space production.
