Space Fostering Latin American Societies : Developing the Latin American Continent Through Space, Part 4, Hardback Book

Space Fostering Latin American Societies : Developing the Latin American Continent Through Space, Part 4 Hardback

Edited by Annette Froehlich

Part of the Southern Space Studies series

Hardback

Description

This peer-reviewed book presents a comprehensive overview of the role space is playing in enabling Latin America to fulfil its developmental aspirations.

Following on from the highly acclaimed Parts 1 to 3, it explains how space and its applications can be used to support the development of the full range and diversity of Latin America societies, while being driven by Latin American goals.

The Latin American space sector is currently undergoing a phase of rapid and dynamic expansion, with new actors entering the field and with space applications increasingly being used to support the continent’s social, economic, and political development.

All across Latin America, attention is shifting to space as a fundamental part of the continental development agenda, and the creation of a Latin American space agency is evidence of this.

Additionally, while in recent years, significant advances in economic and social development have lifted many of Latin America’s people out of poverty, there is still much that needs to be done to fulfil the basic needs of the population and to afford them the dignity they deserve.

To this end, space is already being employed in diverse fields of human endeavour to serve Latin America’s goals for its future, but there is still a need for further incorporation of space systems and data.

This book will appeal to researchers, professionals and students in fields such as space studies, international relations, governance, and social and rural development.
