Although this is a long-term scenario, there are valid reasons to anticipate the possible evolution of political systems in space. According to the authors, it is justified to outline a vision of a political system for Mars, given its planned colonisation, once certain conditions are met. First, a specific political system presupposes a defined organisational structure, competences, and mutual relationships among state bodies; therefore, it cannot be analysed in isolation from the functioning of the state itself. In the context of Mars colonisation, this means that the issue of a political system will arise when the colonisation process becomes large-scale and colonists begin to perceive themselves as a distinct community (or nation) and seek independence from Earth's influence. Until a state is established on Mars, colonies will most likely be administered by settlers acting on behalf of Earth-based superpowers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LAP Lambert Academic Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47776180174999,"sku":"9786209325014","price":5034.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786209325014.webp?v=1777994754","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/governance-on-mars-democracy-or-another-political-order-9786209325014","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
