Defensive in the first few decades, the use of space for military purposes is now aggressive. The concept of militarized outer space has been replaced by the concept of "weaponized" outer space. International law in space only strictly prohibits the putting of weapons of mass destruction into orbit. The threat of conventional weapons development, which is primarily aimed at destroying operating military satellites, may not be prevented by France's earnest diplomatic activities. In this context, "European Space Deterrence" is a statement of strong European foreign policy, the development of independent means for trajectory monitoring of ballistics and space launches, and the ability to respond quickly in the event of an actual attack. May be based on including retaliation. And a small dedicated launcher. This seems to secure the space used for the social and economic development of France and Europe and will become increasingly important in the coming decades. Such assets will put Europe on an equal footing in dialogue with the United States in the context of NATO with interoperable space assets.

Militarization of Space provides a history of space exploration and militarization, analyzing past and current laws governing space and addressing future expected developments in the field. Case studies in this new volume include the United States, Russia, the European Space Agency, China, and some of the emerging players, including Japan, North Korea, South Korea, India, Pakistan, and Iran. An index, bibliography, and tables and graphs round out this insightful and timely resource.

This article examines the textual and visual content of the first postwar
primer in socialist Yugoslav Macedonia in order to understand the messages that it contains relating to techniques of militarization. After outlining the historical context in which this primer was developed, with reference to teachers' memories and archival sources, the article analyzes the role of teaching materials in connection with the experience of the Second World War and the politics of the new communist state. This content analysis identifies six militaristic messages and values communicated to the pupils, who are addressed as future soldiers.
