This comprehensive interdisciplinary work delves into the profound effects of commercializing space and the evolving perspective of the space sector. By employing a framework rooted in theories of international political economy (IPE), the chapters address a range of issues concerning the politics, economics, and ethics of commercializing space. The primary objective of the book is to establish a vital connection between the research conducted on European Space Policy and the pressing concerns that dominate the global discourse on future space policy.

Overall, the volume strives to:

• Provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of historical and contemporary developments in the neoliberal commercialization of space.
• Evaluate the profound impact of commercializing space on European space institutions, European space policy, and European space culture.
• Raise ethical dilemmas regarding the environmental and practical sustainability of the commercialization of space.
• Explore the compatibility of space commercialization with international, EU, and national laws.

This book holds immense appeal to students specializing in space policy, global governance, European politics, and International Relations. Its insights and analysis will undoubtedly enrich their academic pursuits and contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics shaping the future of space exploration and utilization.
