AB - This study reconstructs the governance system of a future Martian society, focusing on the Mars Series by SF author Bae Myung-hoon. With the advent of the New Space era, the prospect of Martian colonization demands the establishment of a novel human community that transcends scientific and technological challenges. The political possibilities of Mars, as envisioned in this work, gain relevance by proposing an ideal system grounded in principles of cooperation and harmony, rather than mere survival.
Despite the increasing feasibility of Martian colonization in the New Space era, research remains predominantly focused on science and technology, with humanities and social science-based studies being notably limited. To address this gap, this paper analyzes the narrative of Bae Myung-hoon’s Mars Series, examining core themes such as meritocracy and communal ethics in the political terraforming of Mars. Moreover, the study explores the ethical and technological challenges as well as the design of legal norms surrounding Martian settlement, highlighting how these elements critically reimagine the limitations of contemporary Earth society. By doing so, this research underscores the role of science fiction as a tool for imagining the possibilities of future communities and critically reflecting on the present
