International Relations Theory and the Evolution of “Peaceful Purposes” in Outer Space
This introductory chapter serves to situate and contextualize the handbook within the field of international relations (IR) theory and its major questions—why states go to war and what makes them stay at peace. These questions are especially pertinent now in the space domain, with a rising number of players, unprecedented commercial innovations, and creeping weaponization in the context of great power competition. The overview sets out the volume…
Norm Formation and Space Traffic Management
Space traffic management has been advanced as a potential way to cope with the pressure on the space environment resulting from new actors and architectures. This chapter takes up this concept through the lens of norm life cycle for the formation of international norms. It suggests that currently we have a space traffic coordination system that is structured within the norm of information sharing. In order for a space traffic management system to…
The Discourse of Space Securitization
Securitization theory holds that security threats are constructed through narratives that seek to move issues into the realm of security. This chapter argues that securitization can be used to understand how narratives surrounding the space domain have led to increasing conceptualization of space activities as securitized. Through an analysis of narratives deployed out of the United States military and diplomatic establishment, it is suggested th…
The Oxford Handbook of Space Security
The Oxford Handbook on Space Security focuses on the interaction between space technology and international and national security processes. This volume theorizes the development and governance of space security and analyzes the specific pressure points currently challenging that regime. Space security is a complex assemblage of societal risks and benefits that result from space-based capabilities and is currently in a period of transformation as…
Space Traffic Management
As the number and intensity of space activities increase, so will the need for rules on Space Traffic Management (STM). Emerging technologies such as mega-constellations, which are satellite constellations consisting of hundreds or even thousands of satellites, may stretch the limits of the current informal coordination system. The goal of this essay is to discuss the critical elements of a system of STM that would, through standardization, estab…
