Routledge Handbook of Space Law (Paperback)

This handbook is a reference work providing a comprehensive, objective and comparative overview of Space Law.

At the international level, Space Law (both hard law and soft law) is expanding in certain areas, especially in satellite broadcasting and telecommunications. The Routledge Handbook of Space Law summarises the existing state of knowledge on a comprehensive range of topics and aspires to set the future international research agenda by indicating gaps and inconsistencies in the existing law and highlighting emerging legal issues.

Drawing together contributions from leading academic scholars and practicing lawyers from around the world, the volume is divided into five key parts: * Part I: General Principles of International Space Law * Part II: International Law of Space Applications * Part III: National Regulation of Space Activities * Part IV: National Regulation of Navigational Satellite Systems * Part V: Commercial Aspects of Space Law This handbook is both practical and theore
