Abstract

The year 2018 marks 50 years since the first United Nations Conference on the Exploration and Peaceful Use of Outer Space. The year shall pass and the world would change as it always has. The only constant would be change and the dynamism of law to respond to change and prevail. International space law has been alive to the shifting patterns of technology, geo-politics, geo-economics and has evolved to remain relevant. What remains to be seen is whether it would continue to be as relevant in view of the paradigm shift in the number and variety of actors and issues in space today. Accordingly, this book focusses on a review of traditional concepts in the changed context and explores solutions that are innovative, unconventional and yet contextual as also pragmatic.
