Special Issue: Astropolitics Project: The Ecosystem of Space

March 2020 Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA (details, invites to follow)

Friday 26 June 2020, London School of Economics and Political Science (UK)

The goal of the Astropolitics’ project is to address the importance of Astropolitics in the realization of space development and exploration. Astropolitics encompasses civil, commercial, and military space activities worldwide addressing historical, strategic, political, bureaucratic, organizational, environmental, legal, economic, commercial, and business factors. The project is focused on research and publication in the academic, peer review journals of Astropolitics and Space Policy. Expected outcomes of this project are to conduct and publish research on the current state of Astropolitics, including trends, developments, and problems to address. The project includes two Global Forum Workshops to bring together research and practitioner experts to critically examine and discuss the state of Astropolitics, and the challenges therein, to support the space enterprise.
