“…In other words, the state that is exposed to such threat is entitled to take action against the debris, even to the extent of destroying the threatening object. 115 With respect to category (b), a widened concept of "peace and security" that goes beyond the "traditional inter-state conflict model" has to be adopted, 116 especially in light of the environmental degradation caused by space debris. Notably, states are under a general duty to maintain "international peace and security," 117 and this duty extends to cover the preservation of collective human interests that transcend any particular state, including the removal of hazardous space debris which is capable of inhibiting the sustainable, future use of outer space.…”

The use of outer space is of growing strategic and technological relevance. The development of robotic exploration to distant planets and bodies across the solar system, as well as pioneering human space exploration in earth orbit and of the moon, paved the way for ambitious long-term space exploration. Today, space exploration goes far beyond a merely technological endeavour, as its further development will have a tremendous social, cultural and economic impact. Space activities are entering an era in which contributions of the humanities-history, philosophy, anthropology-, the arts, and the social sciences-political science, economics, law-will become crucial for the future of space exploration. Space policy thus will gain in visibility and relevance. The series Studies in Space Policy shall become the European reference compilation edited by the leading institute in the field, the European Space Policy Institute. It will contain both monographs and collections dealing with their subjects in a transdisciplinary way.

“…MacDonald examines the effect of U.S.-imposed export controls during the Cold War and finds that such restrictions hindered "the delicate process of innovation" (1990, p. 5). More recently, Mineiro (2011) observes that U.S.imposed export controls have severely obstructed the development of the Chinese commercial satellite industry. 18 Conversely, the United States may encourage the transfer of innovation capabilities to allies in an effort to increase the aggregate strength of the alliance.…”

Explanations for national success in science and technology typically focus on domestic institutions and policies. However, that line of research has yet to identify any particular set of institutions or policies that explain variation in national innovation rates across cases or over time. This article offers new evidence that the problem with domestic institutions approaches stems from their failure to consider international security factors. Specifically, this article finds a positive effect for U.S. security alliances on innovation. This finding is robust across different specifications and periods of analysis. While countries that ally militarily with the United States are found to realize benefits in economy‐wide, indigenous innovation, such an effect is not observed in military technologies. This suggests that alliances may substitute for being on the frontier in military technologies. Therefore, this article contributes not just to debates over S&T competitiveness, but also to alliance formation.
