Militarisation in Outer Space: Case studies of India, France, and Japan

Doctoral and Other Programmes
Description of the Thesis
The thesis takes an international relations and security studies approach of the increasing relevance of Outer Space in the security structure of governments. Many military activities and strategies rely on space-based assets and states are seen increasingly developing technologies that would aid in enhancing their military. This thesis aims to map the changing trends in outer space from being a domain for “peaceful purposes,” to being considered as a sector for a state’s “active defence” activities. Three countries, India, France, and Japan have been considered as cases, keeping in mind that they are non-big powers in outer space who also display the shift from peaceful uses to uses for their security benefit or for "defensive" capabilities.
