      abstract = {The volume provides analyses and evaluations of the  continuing importance of Europe?s autonomy in its access to  space as a key driver in the development of European space  capabilities. From a detailed historical analysis of some  of the pitfalls of dependence in the space industry,  experts analyse the full range of current European space  capabilities and identify areas where autonomy is both  possible and required, even in a situation of severe  budgetary constraints. The contributions present a  comprehensive overview of European efforts in a broad range  of areas including energy, culture, science, and security;  access to space, space applications, human spaceflight,  security and space situational awareness, and strategic  issues. They make a cogent strategic and economic case for  policy makers to continue to bear in mind the importance of  autonomous space capabilities, even in an interdependent  globalised world.},
