Özet:

All kinds of issues and facts related to the structure and actors of the global system are the scope of the International Relations discipline. In parallel with the developments in science and technology in the middle of the 20th century, the outer space field has begun to take its place in the international relations literature. From the 21st century on, every moment of life has become directly related to outer space technologies. In this study, the importance of outer space is emphasized by the general understanding of power in international relations. Taking into account the international decisions and the actions of the states, it was determined that  the race of sovereignty had begun in the outer space and reached to the military dimensions, just like the search for sovereignty in time. This study aims to evaluate the outer space from the perspective of international relations as a new power competition field. In this context, it is aimed to contribute to the power and outer space studies in the Turkish international relations literature.
