space activities and programmes as a tool to reinvigorate the European identity

Summary

"Space activities are one particularly visible area, where Europe can shape its identity. This publication investigates the effect space activities have already had on building a European 'spirit' (e.g. through European missions or European astronauts). It also looks into the effects that activities labelled 'national' have on the emergence of a European identity. Based on this analysis, the book's intention is to identify creative ways and means for how to further use space for shaping the European identity. For this purpose the focus is not only on policy analysis but also on expertise from the fields of cultural science and the arts in order to tap their creative potential and also their theoretical approaches to the topic."--Publisher description
