"The European Union Space Policy" published on by Oxford University Press.

The numbers of street vendors around the world prove that they play a significant role in a vibrant and dynamic global economy. They are the ones who greet us around the world as we embark on our day-to-day journeys. And while some people appreciate the commodities and enticing cuisine they offer, not everyone perceives these vendors as a convenience. In many regions of the world, street vendors are viewed as destitute peoples who pollute public spaces and do not fit within the neoliberalist concept of a global city. What this synthesis map intends to do is bring to light how policy currently deals with street vending, look at street vending on public spaces and people's perception of it, and finally make some suggestions as to how policymakers might approach this important issue. Through an analysis of academic papers, an online survey, and several Zoom interviews, I looked to gain a perspective on the matter. Having grown up around street vendors for a significant part of my early life, I also sought to inform my own bias towards them. Governments in the Global South know how difficult it is to design and implement a functional public space and mobility policy so hopefully, this content can provide some guidance.

Examines several space technology programs influenced by the Reagan Administration. Argues that while the emphases are unique to the Reagan years (for example, privitization and militarization) the general way national policy for space is forged--the interactions of President, Congress, bureaucracy and other interest groups--is not unique. Policy making is more ad hoc and piecemeal than strategic and comprehensive. Often it is reactive and accidental. (JLN)

China's rapid rise in strategic power extends into the domain of space. That space exploration is bound to continue, but for Beijing, space is ever more important for defence and for growing comprehensive national power to challenge US leadership. China aims to become the dominant space actor by 2049, a status which will encompass both military capability in space, as well as "presence" on key astrostrategic locations within the Earth-Moon system. For the United States, this challenge, although not—yet—a "space race" in the context of Apollo and the US–Soviet space race of the 1960s, looms large and may become significant as China builds astrostrategic power. For Australia, China's growing capabilities in space, particularly its military space capabilities, are driving new policy development in relation to Australian space capability.

The purpose of the article is to analyze ESP in the context of different modes of governance. Assuming that ESP is a unique and multidimensional product of dynamic political, technological, and social processes and ideas coordinated by the EU, its member states as well as non-member ones and implemented in an international environment, there are some research questions to be answered. First, is there any particular mode of governance that should be applied to the analysis of ESP implementation? Second, in what way the EU introduced space policy and space assets to the European agenda? Third, how ESP can be framed within the overall process of European integration? A qualitative research approach has been applied as well as theoretic apparatus embedded in European integration studies and political science. The main finding of the article is that the most promising way of governance within ESP is experimentalist governance. The originality of the article results from the application of the newly established experimentalist governance theory to an analysis of the increasingly important segment of EU activity.
