The course aims to offer an introduction to the disciplines that govern space policies, mostly focusing on the European(s), the US and the Chinese models of space governance and space law. It aims to overcome the traditional disciplinary barriers and illustrate how international law and national (public and private) law define systems of governance crucial for the space economy, characterized by the increasing role of private entities. Among the most relevant topics, by combining the approaches of comparative law and international law, the course will deal with the multilayered nature of space law; with a legal analysis of the space actors and of the main models of law and governance in space; and with some traditional concepts of private law transposed in the light and in the context of space law.
