The European Union's (EU) space policy is centered around militarization, with a strong interconnectedness between European security, industrial competitiveness, and military capabilities. This policy has seen the EU and its key member states increasingly view space assets as critical military, economic, industrial, and technological enablers, similar to the US, China, and Russia. This book aims to address this issue by examining the military aspects of EU space policy, with a particular focus on security and defense dimensions of projects such as Galileo, Copernicus, Space Situational Awareness, and Satellite Communication. Contributors explore the empirical developments, including the roles of different institutional actors and the involvement of specific member states. The volume also analyzes the discursive, ideological, normative, and theoretical foundations of the EU's use of space for strategic purposes, drawing on a wide range of European integration/International Relations theory. Additionally, the book discusses initiatives outside the EU by key global space players, with an emphasis on the US and transatlantic space relations.
Each chapter in this book maintains a solid empirical foundation, with a geographical or issue-related focus, while also emphasizing the EU as a whole, transatlantic relations, the policies of key member states (such as France and Italy), and core space powers such as the US, China, and India. This book will be of great interest to students of space power, security studies, European politics, and International Relations.
