Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction to Part 1 of the second edition of the Handbook of Space Security by overviewing major issues and themes that frame discourse about space security. This part contains 17 chapters that include foundational discussions about definitional, governance, theoretical, legal, deterrence, and resilience themes for space security as well as more focused discussions about cooperation, strategic competition, export controls, critical infrastructure, cyber threats, safety, traffic management, and the sustainability of space resources. Together, these themes and issues provide a comprehensive setting for refining and advancing our dialogue about international space security.
