Like previous books in the "Southern Space Studies" series, it focuses on the role of space in supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals in Africa, but it covers an even more extensive array of relevant and timely topics addressing all facets of African development. It demonstrates that, while great achievements have been made in recent years in terms of economic and social development, which has lifted many of Africa?s people out of poverty, there is still much that needs to be done to fulfill the basic needs of Africa's citizens and afford them the dignity they deserve: to this end space is already being employed in diverse fields of human endeavor to serve Africa?s goals for its future, but there is much room for further incorporation of space systems and data. Providing a comprehensive overview of the role space is playing in achieving Africa?s developmental aspirations, the book is of great interest to both students and professionals in fields such as space studies, international relations, governance, social and rural development, and many others. 410 0$aSouthern Space Studies,$x2523-3718 606 $aLaw of the sea 606 $aInternational law 606 $aAfrica?Economic conditions 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Space$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19060 606 $aAfrican Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45020 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 615 0$aLaw of the sea. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aAfrica?Economic conditions. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 14$aLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Space. 615 24$aAfrican Economics. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 676 $a387.8 702 $aFroehlich$b Annette$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910366570903321 996 $aSpace Fostering African Societies$91756676 997 $aUNINA
