Analysing Space Data Sharing Through Normative Power: the Case for a Japan–ASEAN Partnership / Verspieren, Quentin   Journal Article
Verspieren, Quentin Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Space-based remote sensing is playing a prominent role for disaster management and socioeconomic development in Asia-Pacific. However, the unequal access to space technology in the region prompts the establishment of regional data-sharing agreements. This situation provides an opportunity for the region's leading space powers to enhance their regional influence. By invoking the concept of concept of Normative Power from the field of international relations, this article demonstrates (1) the applicability of this concept in the space sector, through an analysis of the European space sector and (2) the usefulness for decision-makers in advanced space powers to follow its methodological framework to design efficient strategies for enhanced regional influence. In particular, this paper argues that a tight collaboration with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on space data sharing could participate in an ambitious Japanese diplomatic strategy of enhancement of its normative influence over the Asian space sector, in times marked by the rise of other powerful regional space actors.

From the Seas to Outer Space: The Reverse Dynamics of Civil-Military Situational Awareness Information and Responsibility Sharing / Verspieren, Quentin   Journal Article
Verspieren, Quentin Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Data collection and information sharing are at the core of any traffic control system. In particular, Maritime Situational Awareness—restricted in this article to one of its main components, the automatic identification system (AIS)—and Space Situational Awareness (SSA) are the backbones of, respectively, maritime and space traffic control frameworks. While the AIS has been initiated by civil authorities for civil purposes and is now being adopted by navies around the world, SSA, originally developed by the military to protect national security assets in outer space is progressively transferred to civil actors. This article shows how and why the intrinsically different nature and history of maritime and space traffics generated a totally reverse approach towards information and responsibility sharing in support to traffic control, while presenting current proposals for the evolution of SSA.
