African theoretical contributions from the International Relations field are discussed, and Africa?s new Space Policy and Strategy, along with debates around the establishment of an African Space Agency, are explored. The African International Space Ecosystem is then analyzed, including its dimensions of intra-African space relations and initiatives, African participation in COPUOS, and international space activities, agreements, and initiatives in Africa. The final part is dedicated to the national space infrastructure and activities of African states. . 410 0$aStudies in Space Policy,$x1868-5307 ;$v20 606 $aAfrica?Politics and government 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aAfrica?Economic conditions 606 $aAfrican Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911090 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 606 $aAfrican Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45020 615 0$aAfrica?Politics and government. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 0$aAfrica?Economic conditions. 615 14$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 615 24$aAfrican Economics. 676 $a338.0919 700 $aFroehlich$b Annette$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0846439 702 $aSiebrits$b André$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337724303321 996 $aSpace supporting Africa$92096658 997 $aUNINA
