This volume offers a comprehensive overview of the field of space
policy. Space is a technology-driven domain, and policy development
has accelerated in recent years, at a time when the space economy has
begun to show remarkable potential. Thus, this handbook gathers
experts from different fields with the aim of (1) offering an overview
of the state of play regarding space policy issues, and (2) expanding
knowledge about possible future developments. Given the
cross-disciplinary nature of the subject and its vast scope, the
authors' contributions are grouped within different thematic sections,
as follows: Theoretical structures for an understanding of space
policies The history of space Society, justice, and the human impact
Governance of space Popularisation of space New frontiers in space and
expansion into the unknown World space policies by geographic areas.
The introduction and the conclusion chapters provide a coherent
connection between the contributions, with each section presenting
transversal themes, such as power dynamics and rules,
commercialisation, sustainability, militarisation, applications and
domestic use, and justice. This volume will be of much interest to
students of space policy and power, security studies, and
international relations.
