Moving beyond traditional space law, the book offers a fresh, external perspective that recognises the growing relevance of non-space-specific frameworks-such as trade, taxation, and investment-in regulating commercial activity beyond Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is structured around three central themes: space resource management, the governance of space as a global commons, and the legal and regulatory challenges posed by security and private enterprise.
