Abstract

This introductory chapter serves to situate and contextualize the handbook within the field of international relations (IR) theory and its major questions—why states go to war and what makes them stay at peace. These questions are especially pertinent now in the space domain, with a rising number of players, unprecedented commercial innovations, and creeping weaponization in the context of great power competition. The overview sets out the volume’s core concern with state-centric models, technological development, and peaceful uses of outer space. It then briefly summarizes the contributions of the various chapters in the volume. Finally, it ends by reflecting on the core takeaways that these contributions lead to.
