Abstract
The MTCR is a multilateral non-proliferation regime that regulates exports and imports of dual-use technology among its member countries. This paper examines the connection between MTCR and power relations between countries and the formation of international law. The theory used is Mieville commodity-form theory through descriptive- qualitative method. Based on research conducted, MTCR is an instrument using by several developed countries to dominate international space development while limiting the opportunities of other countries, including Indonesia, to obtain the technology. MTCR’s rule is not an international treaty, it is not an internationally binding law but it has a huge impact on the international technology import regulations making process.
