Abstract
Carl Schmitt was one of the philosophers influenced by political geographers who attached great importance to thinking about space. Since he is best known for his theory of the "Political", it is necessary to pay attention to the other dimension of this theory, which is space. Among his spatial ideas in which the political matter is clear, we can mention "Nomos of the Earth", "Land and Sea" and "Grossram", which become important for organizing space through spatial revolutions on a global scale. Therefore, the aim of this article is to examine the spatial dimension of Schmitt's work and the place of spatial revolution in it. This research, using a descriptive and analytical method and based on library data, seeks to answer the question of what place space and spatial revolution have in Carl Schmitt's thought? As a result, this research examines space in Schmitt's thoughts, which leads to an understanding of the organization of international political space. And it focuses on how politics creates the inside from the outside and friend from enemy on three scales: local, regional, and global.
