Description

This book explores the evolution of international space law (ISL) from the perspective of its actors.

Firstly, it focuses on the founding players in the creation of ISL and space policymaking, primarily States, diplomats, and intergovernmental organisations. It goes on to shed light on the role of private entities as new actors in shaping the current global legal and political system governing space activities. Finally, it analyses the forces driving the current structure and networks of ISL, as well as the challenges that lie ahead for the new era of space.

This book is a much needed timely and intellectually robust review of the transformative changes underway in ISL.
