Using the words of Joseph Nye, this so-called soft power is as important as hard power for a state to stand its ground in world politics. Realizing the potential of space activities in exercising soft power is not a revolutionary idea. In fact, there are clear, either past (U.S.-Soviet space race in 1960s) or present (some of the Chinese or Indian achievements in space exploration) examples of how valuable could be utilizing space achievements in increasing the attractiveness and reputation of a state. However, debate about space being utilized in exercising soft power seems rather quiet in Europe. Since the European Union as a global actor builds in world politics primarily upon its soft power, this paper deals with the question whether or not could deeper linking of space to soft power for European states be worthy and viable decision URL http://www.espi.or.at/images/documents/Voices/Voices_From_the_Space_Community_78.pdf Public work category ADE No. of Archival Copy 38151 Catal.org.
