Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Space governance is essentially international and multidisciplinary in character, and this Encyclopedia, written by the best experts in the field, is a must-read primer for those who wish to gain proper understanding of this highly complex and important global governance system.' -- Ram S. Jakhu, McGill Institute of Air and Space Law, Canada 'Civil society woke up following this century's pandemic to the relevance of and need for secure operational systems that were not just earth-based to assist society in its daily needs. All the more welcome is the timely publication of the Elgar Encyclopedia of Space Policy and Governance. Written by leading experts selected from across the globe, it delivers excellent, easily readable insights and background into all sectors of space activities. Entries outline the historical development and roles of the various institutions that coordinate the activities and governance for the international space community. This Elgar Encyclopedia is an essential tool for all sectors of society, from families, to educational institutions, all public authorities, civil society organisations and not least, governments, to have in their database. As the 2030 UN Agenda for Sustainable Development encapsulates, the challenges civil society faces are no mean task as such extreme conditions as pandemics, food security, war and strife, continue to mar the landscape for humanity. This work will help all members of the community understand what space offers and delivers towards securing our tasks on earth.' -- Lesley Jane Smith, International Institute of Space Law and Leuphana University Lueneburg, Germany 'This Encyclopedia is a comprehensive and unique compendium of all the major events and governance actions that have created the complex space industrial and geopolitical environment that we all know today. It is a hugely valuable contribution to the space community, especially those new to it.' -- Stuart D. Martin, Imperial College London, UK
