Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the opportunity to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.Space policy is now a top priority in international relations. This timely Research Agenda takes the definition of space policy itself as an object of analysis rather than as an unquestioned premise. It presents the multi-faceted spectrum of elements combined within space policy which are crucially relevant to security, welfare and modern society.Chapters demonstrate why space matters and how space policy research has reflected this during the past half-century. Expert international contributors set out a forward-looking research agenda for the 2020s, identifying key problems and conflicts related to the topic and exploring policy, regulatory approaches and diplomatic mechanisms to reach possible solutions. The types of actors and institutions playing a key role in space policy are also examined through an interdisciplinary lens. Scholars and students of political science, international relations and law will find this to be a sophisticated, cutting-edge resource for analysing and understanding the multi-dimensional impacts of space policy.

This book offers the first comprehensive social science perspective on geoengineering—technologies that deliberately intervene in Earth’s systems to counter climate change. It examines the political, legal, economic, and societal dimensions of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and Solar Radiation Modification (SRM), combining SWOT analyses with regional perspectives from Africa and the Asia-Pacific.Contributors illuminate the urgent governance, ethical, and geopolitical challenges that arise when states and societies confront the “risk versus risk” dilemma: unchecked climate change versus potentially disruptive interventions.Offering clear insights into emerging regulatory debates and global power dynamics, the volume provides scholars, policymakers, and practitioners with tools to engage in informed and responsible decision-making. A timely guide to one of the 21st century’s most controversial climate strategies, it helps readers navigate the politics of turning Earth’s thermostat down.
