(6/6) These findings serve as a reminder that a polycentric structure alone does not guarantee the sustainability of a system. This conclusion is particularly relevant in light of the growing interest for the polycentric govrnance of climate change.

(5/6)Interviews with 48 key stakeholders reveal the absence of several favorable factors for a sustainable polycentric governance system.

(4/6) However, our content analysis of 1,108 arrangements provides evidence that this governance system has so far failed to adequately address the problem of orbital debris through the emergence of appropriate norms

(3/6) Our network analysis shows that the global network of space organizations exhibits some of the structural characteristics of a polycentric system.

(2/6) The pollution of Earth’s orbits by debris is an urgent environmental problem. We assess the viability of a polycentric governance system for space debris, a solution advocated by several experts.

7️⃣ @gbeaumier.bsky.social, @cyncouette.bsky.social & @jfmorin.bsky.social examine the European Space Agency through the lens of hybrid organisations.

In the latest issue of JEPP, @gbeaumier.bsky.social, @cyncouette.bsky.social and I argue that the ESA, thanks to its hybrid nature, is well positioned to conduct bridging and brokering activities in global space governance.

Art 11 negociations : "the many attempts to introduce terms like voluntary or mutually agreed in the text are designed to put states in the position of consumers of products, which they are, but also to undermine their role as regulators of industry and guardians of the public interest."

First post here: A fun one 🎉 After successfully completing my last doctoral examination until submission at #UL on Friday, I gathered with my #ANU peers and friends for an end-of-year celebration, before starting my journey home after 1.5 years away! What a weekend ☀️🌏🎉
