Toward an Integrated Theory of Space-Cyber Power

Abstract

In his seminal book The Influence of Sea Power upon History, Mahan demonstrated how Great Britain s sea power paved the way for its emergence as the world s dominant military, political, and economic power, and articulated a theory of sea power. More recently, outer space and cyberspace emerged as operational military domains, as well as their nexus, as demonstrated during the war in Ukraine that has been dubbed as the first space-cyber war. The emerging space-cyber nexus poses risks to shared critical infrastructure and presents vexing governance challenges. At the same time, it allows for the accumulation and projection of power and influence.
