New Space Economy: A 21st Century Political Economy Research Agenda
Abstract
Much has been written about the new space economy. However, until recently the literature remained fragmented across a wide range of academic papers, policy reports, and technical journals and has not adequately raised political economy questions that examine the dynamics of space economy growth and its implications on equity. This “perspective” offers a political economy research agenda by raising questions on the nature of the new space economy and the implications on equity arising from space-related economic activities.
