Advanced Space Law (Nov 2019)
Extension of Space Activities, Emergence of Space State and Cosmization of Legal Science
Abstract
The need for cosmization of legal science and application of interdisciplinary, intersectional approaches for the in-depth study of new space phenomena is expected to grow significantly. This will be caused not only by a new stage in the space human expansion, but also the increasing competition in this area, the start of the emergence of space statehood in developed countries, the complication of law enforcement mechanisms, as well as the threat of space wars. For the first time, due to the development of space activities and the emergence of space statehood we can provide projections for some areas regarding thematic development of the main branches of legal science and its general cosmization. It outlines the perspective problems, which the philosophy of law, the general theory of state and law, the history of state and law, international public and private law, comparative law, constitutional, administrative, civil law and other industries legal science confront with through the emergence of space legal science. It is proved that to study the fundamental problems of the development of the space state and law (national and international), it is necessary to combine the efforts of legal science with other social, humanitarian, and military sciences. A systematic multi-faceted scientific study of the emerging space civilization, its statehood and law, and the risks associated with it in the strategic documents of states, will allow achieving positive results in understanding of the prospects of the modern state and law evolution, in creating a new international security system on Earth and in outer space. General conclusions are drawn about the features and characteristics, possible trends of the cosmization of jurisprudence.
