"The different perspectives offered by the eleven authors from all regions of the World enable the reader to develop their own ideas ... . The book is a stimulating and entertaining read for an audience of open-minded lawyers, policy-makers and policy analysts, both in the field of space activities as in the international cultural sphere, that allow themselves to look beyond the obvious."
