Exopolitics DEFINITION

Exopolitics Concept Exopolitics is an interdisciplinary field of study that examines the political, social, and diplomatic implications of extraterrestrial contact with humanity. Coined by Michael Salla in 2003, this term combines "exo" (external) with "politics," referring to politics related to extraterrestrial civilizations. Purpose and Objectives Exopolitics seeks to prepare humanity for possible official contact with extraterrestrial civilizations by developing conceptual frameworks and diplomatic protocols. Its objectives include analyzing the power structures that allegedly conceal information about UFOs, promoting government transparency, and establishing ethical principles for interstellar interaction. Main Topics This discipline addresses various aspects: government secrecy policies regarding unidentified aerial phenomena, analysis of contactee and whistleblower testimonies, development of interstellar communication protocols, geopolitical implications of extraterrestrial contact, and social and religious consequences of the disclosure of intelligent extraterrestrial life. Conclusions Exopolitics represents an attempt to systematically address one of the most speculative topics of our time. Although it lacks solid scientific evidence, it has contributed to the debate on government transparency and has influenced the growing official openness regarding unidentified aerial phenomena. Its value lies more in conceptual preparation than in immediate practical application, maintaining an interdisciplinary dialogue on the possible implications of extraterrestrial contact.
