A Critical Perspective on Space Governance and New Entrants to the Space Sector
WHO HAS THE POWER? A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE ON SPACE GOVERNANCE AND NEW ENTRANTS TO THE SPACE SECTOR Dr. Cassandra Steer* The same big players determine space law and space politics are deter- mined as terrestrial geopolitics, and therefore in asKing how to govern space, we have to taKe the current realities of international relations and international law into account. At the beginning of the space race, which was at the height of the Cold War, the two superpowers were the key influential players in de- veloping the first instruments of space governance, namely the 1967 Outer Space Treaty (OST),1 and three of the four other core space treaties.2 To a lesser degree, European powers and other smaller influential States, such as Canada, were also involved in the treaty negotiations, in forming relevant UN General Assembly resolutions, and in the decision-maKing within the Com- mittee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS). But typically, for the development of any new international legal or governance regime, the smaller players are left on the periphery to accept the new order that is put in place by the greater powers. This new order that they accept is also often to their det- riment. In many ways it is very difficult for new entrants into the space sector to wield any great influence on developing norms, or on the sector as a whole—at least, this is the case for States. Today’s space race is equal parts commercial and political, and commercial players have a unique ability to disrupt the status quo.
