SPACE

Despite its tremendous uniqueness as an environmental and natural resource, outer space is subject to a host of familiar problems. It is polluted, congested, and scarce (particularly in terms of certain orbits and regions of the electromagnetic spectrum), and its effective management is contentious among policymakers who disagree about the roles and responsibilities of the public and private sectors. As the canonical "global commons," space is also an environment in which international competition and cooperation have been required -although how to balance these remains unresolved.
