Space Security & Policy

2 Credits.

Space has become essential to national security, economic growth, human well-being, and scientific progress. This course offers an in-depth exploration of space security and policy, examining the strategic, legal, and technological dimensions of outer space as a shared but also as a contested and increasingly congested domain. We will explore the core principles of space security, assess the roles of major state and non-state actors, and examine how international cooperation and competition shape space activities.
