SPI alumna Dr. Jana Robinson, Managing Director of the Prague Security Studies Institute, was interviewed by The Royal United Services Institute’s War In Space podcast about her research on the ‘ground-based space race’, where authoritarian states fund parts of the space economy in third countries to gain influence and shape their voting decisions. Their discussion explores these economic and financial threats, and how they further shape norms in space. They also discuss the soft power element of space and the future for international space cooperation in the context of the future decommissioning of the International Space Station.
