Stefania Paladini in a 2019 booklet reports that there are few industries in today's world as dynamic and dramatically changing as the space industry, with new ventures and initiatives being announced on a daily basis. As well as emerging countries improving their launching and manufacturing capabilities, private companies are beginning to join public bodies in the space race, and participating in what is frequently being referred to as the new space era (i.e., the 2nd Space Race). With fantastic opportunities arising for business and economics, this book purports to provide a comprehensive overview of the space sector, exploring recent initiatives, and the most important areas of investment in the industry, including emerging fields of activities such as asteroid mining and space tourism. It also addresses traditional and non-traditional security issues in the sector, together with discussing their legal implications. This interdisciplinary book provides insights for practitioners and researchers alike, particularly those involved in technology and innovation management, emerging markets, international relations, and security studies.
