Summary:	"Since the early 2000s, space has become an increasingly crowded and contested environment. The expanding number of countries and companies involved and the failure of international management mechanisms (rules, laws, and treaties) to keep up with the pace of the spread of space technology has raised the risks of conflict and stressed existing space resources, creating difficult problems in space traffic management, debris mitigation, radio-spectrum crowding, space situational awareness, and military security. This second edition will examine the current status of international competition in space, as well as the prospects for cooperation. It asks a central question: if all countries share an interest in maintaining safe access to space, why are we failing to address critical emerging problems, and what might be done about them? The book also examines the roots of current space management mechanisms, how they are being challenged, and what paths might exist toward enhanced space security in the future"--
