Anotace - angličtina
This course gives a detailed overview of theories and applications of geopolitics to the European airspace and near-space. Students will have an understanding of the European airspace - history, laws, policies and practices that apply to the economic, commercial and safety aspects of the international air transport. It also gives an insight of space affairs as a geopolitical tool like the others (land and seas) to push forward the states’ strategic interests. Students will be familiarized with the key developments in the spaceplane deployment, new technologies, as well as the European strategic planning, space agreements and regulations in an increasingly challenging “New Space”.
