Beskrivning
Exploring the concepts of territory, sovereignty and jurisdiction, this forward-thinking book brings together international lawyers and political philosophers to discuss the complex issues raised by property in outer space. It provides innovative insights into the future of domestic and international law on resource extraction and other forms of public and private exploration and exploitation of celestial bodies.Chapters evaluate the confluence between public and private international law in outer space, the prospects of an international law of spatial commons, the protection of the international spatial environment, as well as the equitable sharing of scientific benefits from outer space. Reflecting on important questions relating to political equality, representation and participation in space law-making processes and institutions, the book also invites readers to revisit the sources of both public and private international law. Last but not least, expert contributors argue for the revival of the international law of science, providing protections against the commercialisation of space exploration.Property in Outer Space in International Law and Philosophy is a vital read for scholars and practitioners of both private and public international law. Political theorists and philosophers of science will also benefit from its insights into matters of sovereignty and the scientific commons.

Recensioner i media

‘As Samantha Besson explains, we are at a moment with respect to property in outer space that is strikingly similar, from the legal and philosophical perspectives, to the one that confronted Grotius and Locke in the 17th Century. Besson brings together a distinguished group of philosophers and legal theorists, resulting in a state-of-the-art discussion of the issue of property in space, and an exemplary instance of interdisciplinary dialogue. The book also explores more abstract theoretical issues related to the future of international law-making, challenges to the traditional international legal imaginary, and the prospects for a revived international law of science. Property in outer space turns out to be one of those substantive issues that requires rethinking our theoretical foundations if it is to be properly addressed.’
