Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This volume is about the sweeping technical and regulatory changes which have moulded the new regulatory framework of space communications. WARC-92 introduced the LEO systems, WRC-5 confirmed the access of large international corporations to negotiating tables with member state representatives, and WRC-97 saw the first exchanges of rounds between North America and Western Europe in the global quest for new business markets. The forthcoming conferences of the next century promise to be challenging. The legal and institutional process, which charts such unprecedented technical revolution, is still primarily in the domain of international law experts. However, several other legal specialities also tackle space-based communications: trade, air navigation, culture, education, etc., in intimate contact with legitimate profit-making concerns and strategic interest considerations.
This volume is conceptually divided into two parts but actually has three parts. It is organised around the traditional distinction between international satellite regulations (Part One) and regional satellite regulations; this second level deals with North American and Western European regulations (Parts Two and Three). The outcome of this research is, first, to present the evolution of the regulatory framework of space-based communications, second, to underline the mounting importance of administrative regulations which tend to be granted a de facto status of standard laws and, third, to draw the attention of the public to the win--lose type of trans-Atlantic competition that is taking place on the global stage, that should change into a win--win scenario in the end. Such a broad fresco has never before been presented in such a compact format to a worldwide community of readers. This book is a store-house of reference information for all who are actively involved in satellite regulations, in both the academic and the professional communities, as well as those in the general public who are interested in international affairs.
