Summary:

Both military and civilian components of space technologies are used for modern countries or nations anxious to develop rapidly as well as to structure their identity as autonomous states. This idea recently drew some major powers to think about means of limitations for others, rather than themselves, based on the strategic advantages provided by the mastering of space systems (launchers and satellites), paving the way for a possible weaponisation of space. This book presents and discusses a new international context for space policies. This book also describes the panorama of a new strategic international environment for space.
