    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Perspectives for Space Law in the Twenty-First Century by Stephan Hobe

    Long description:

    The course evaluates the different phases of the development of space law against the background of the development of public international
    law. An analysis of current international space law investigates whether the body of law is ready for the challenges of outer space commercialisation and the rise of “New Space” in the 21st century. To accomplish this, it peruses through existing space law treaties, in particular the foundational Outer Space Treaty, as well as other sources of space law. Discovering that international space law developed as a permissive law that would enable the further evolution of space technology yet with sufficient foresight to understand that such evolution will require provisions for the preservation of the international common that is outer space, the author examines several avenues for the future evolution of space law. Among these, the author proposes several notions in order to preserve space law’s initial character as a law for the protection of the international commons of “outer space” on the one hand, and pay attention to an equitable distribution of the benefits derived from the resources of outer space on the other hand.
