“…A geopolitical actor is defined, for example, by Sirke Mäkinen, as any actor whose influence might be felt in at least two regions on the globe. 23 As pointed out by Flint, the geopolitical actors no longer need to include only national states but involve other types of actors as well. 24 In the space arena, we can see two processes appearing simultaneously that will shape the nature of the activities -spread of the number of actors and the inclusion of the different types of actors.…”

The paper reviews the main approaches towards the study of the geopolitics of outer space and presents some main issues to be tackled in the future. Geopolitics, as an approach towards the analysis of international politics, generally discusses the impact of geography on the political processes. Throughout history, approaches to analyse the impact of different types of terrain or different types of environment (sea, air, land) on the conduct of political activity were developed. It was only in the 1990s when Everett Dolman applied the geopolitical approach to the outer space domain. Since then, many approaches to the issue were developed, and the stream known as astropolitics became an important stream of academic thought. The author analyses some physical characteristics necessary for the understanding of the domainʼs mechanisms and then presents some important streams of thought inside the geopolitical thinking. The analysis focuses on the issues of actorness, the relations between space powers, technological progress, the introduction of space weapons, utilisation of natural resources, and sustainability of space operations. The author concludes that with foreseeable technological progress in the future, the outer space domain will become more relevant for both academia and practitioners in their approach to international politics, requiring deeper understanding of how processes in this domain can impact political events and relations.

“…From this perspective, the geopolitics of higher education refers neither to 'geopolitical education' nor to the associated geopolitical knowledge that circulates in select institutional environments, diplomacy schools, military academies or universities, or that is embodied in various educational materials (cf. Mäkinen 2014). From an assemblage perspective, it designates the envisioned and materialized higher education learning environments that function as apparatuses of governance, namely those that normalize and naturalize certain representations of economy and society (Koch 2014).…”

In this article, we analyse the geopolitics of higher education, which we understand as an assemblage through which the functioning of the 'borderless' and 'deterritorializing' dynamics of the global knowledge economy are respatialized. Discourses, objects and bodies constitute a geopolitical assemblage. We scrutinize in particular the geopolitical discourse of the knowledge economy, the construction of material and immaterial learning environments as one of its governmental technologies as well as the subjectification of individuals as specific kinds of professional citizens. We concretize this with an enquiry into the set of recent university reforms in Finland and the ways in which these contribute to the formation of transnational citizenship.
