Particular attention is paid to the most controversial and contentious issues with the view of appraising the prospects for establishing global rules. The book is divided into three parts; the first part includes papers assessing the role of national and international legislation with further distinction being made between bilateral, regional and multilateral legal frameworks. The second part addresses regulatory issues 410 0$aWorld scientific studies in international economics ;$vv. 21. 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$xLaw and legislation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a346/.092 701 $aDrabek$b Zdenek$0966634 701 $aMavroidis$b Petros C$0257272 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452737603321 996 $aRegulations of foreign investment$92193747 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05030nam 22006495 450 001 9910299791603321 005 20230810153630.0 010 $a9781349953394 010 $a1349953393 024 7 $a10.1057/978-1-349-95339-4 035 $a(CKB)4100000003359146 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5372089 035 $a(DE-He213)978-1-349-95339-4 035 $a(Perlego)3483567 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000003359146 100 $a20180425d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aImagining Outer Space $eEuropean Astroculture in the Twentieth Century /$fedited by Alexander C.T.

How was outer space conceived and communicated? What promises of interplanetary expansion and cosmic colonization propelled the project of human spaceflight to the forefront of twentieth-century modernity? In what way has West-European astroculture been affected by the continuous exploration of outer space? Tracing the thriving interest in spatiality to early attempts at exploring imaginary worlds beyond our own, the book analyzes contact points between science and fiction from a transdisciplinary perspective and examines sites and situations where utopian images and futuristic technologies contributed to the omnipresence of fantasmatic thought. Bringing together state-of-the-art work in this emerging field of historical research, the volume breaks new ground in the historicization of the Space Age. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Science and Technology,$x2730-9738 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aEurope$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences 606 $aEuropean History 606 $aSocial History 606 $aModern History 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences. 615 24$aEuropean History. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aModern History. 676 $a387.80940904 702 $aGeppert$b Alexander C.T$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299791603321 996 $aImagining Outer Space$92501114 997 $aUNINA
