This chapter offers a clear and concise overview of global efforts to strengthen multilateral governance in outer space. It outlines the value of consensus-building through the United Nations, the role of confidence-building measures in reducing tensions, and the challenges posed by increasingly complex commercial and geopolitical dynamics.
Peter Martinez and Victoria Samson bring their expertise to bear on questions of transparency, security, and sustainability—highlighting how diplomatic, legal, and institutional tools can help navigate the risks of outer space becoming a domain of competition or conflict.
