The Oxford Handbook on Space Security focuses on the interaction between space technology and international and national security processes. This volume theorizes the development and governance of space security and analyzes the specific pressure points currently challenging that regime. Space security is a complex assemblage of societal risks and benefits that result from space-based capabilities and is currently in a period of transformation as innovative processes are rapidly changing the underlying assumptions about stability in the space domain. This volume takes an analytically-eclectic approach to assessing space security from an international relations (IR) theory perspective. It builds an understanding of space security, infused with the theory and practice of IR and advances analysis of key states and regions as well as specific capabilities. It draws on the expertise of a set of scholars who bring a range of analytical and theoretical perspectives to bear on the empirical changes affecting space security. Space security is currently in a period of great transition as new technologies are emerging and states openly pursue counterspace capabilities. This volume brings together scholarship from a group of leading experts that helps to explain how these contemporary changes will affect future security in, from, and through space.

Im frühen Bismarckreich vollzog sich eine der großen Reformphasen in der neueren deutschen Geschichte, an deren inhaltlichen Ausgestaltung die Nationalliberalen an der Seite des Reichskanzlers großen Anteil hatten. Ihre Wirkungen und Ergebnisse reichen bis in die heutige Zeit. Getragen wurde das liberale Modernisierungsprogramm von einem Sprach- und Politikstil, einem 'politischen Code', der von weiten Teilen des Bürgertums gelesen und verstanden werden konnte. Das verschaffte den Liberalen die Deutungshoheit in den anstehenden Fragen zur Lösung der großen Herausforderungen in Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft nach der Reichsgründung. Doch warum verlor das vielversprechende Konzept der Erneuerung schon keine zehn Jahre später seine Überzeugungskraft? Die vorliegende Studie untersucht auf einem genau markierten Beobachtungsfeld, wie Zukunftsversprechen eine Partei großmachen können, wie schnell aber auch der Einfluss auf Deutungshoheit in der Politik verloren gehen kann."Liberal Thinking. The Struggle for Sovereignty of Interpretation. The Political Style of National Liberalists in the Early Bismarckian Empire": The early Bismarckian era saw one of the great reform phases in modern German history, in which the National Liberals played a major role. The liberal modernization program was supported by a political style that appealed to large sections of the mid-dle classes, but quickly lost its persuasive power. The study examines how promises for the future can make a party great, but also how quickly the influence on interpre-tative sovereignty in politics can be lost
