Space policy in developing countries such as Nigeria and South Africa is motivated by utilitarian promises that space and the attendant technologies have the potential to advance development and security interests of the affected nations. However, several decades into the orbital journey of these countries, little is known of their space politics, policies, strategies, capacities and capabilities, and realisation of desired objectives. Beyond pure and applied sciences reductionism, this book offers social science perspectives on space studies in Africa, as it examines the intricate relationships of historical, geographical, social, demographic, economic, political, administrative, and strategic factors, nationally, regionally and globally that have shaped research and development of space science and technologies, and their benefits, in Nigeria and South Africa.Southern Space Studies,2523-3726Aerospace engineeringAstronauticsLaw of the seaInternational lawAeronauticsLaw and legislationAfricaPolitics and governmentAfricaEconomic conditionsAerospace Technology and AstronauticsLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer SpaceAfrican PoliticsAfrican EconomicsAerospace engineering.Astronautics.Law of the sea.International law.AeronauticsLaw and legislation.AfricaPolitics and government.AfricaEconomic conditions.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Law of the Sea, Air and Outer Space.African Politics.African Economics.629.1Oyewole Samuel1680142MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910831007503321Utilitarianism in Outer Space4048738UNINA
