現代科技日新月異，人類的太空活動也展現迥異於以往的面貌。太空科技不僅延伸到宇宙，另一方面也深入地表影響人類生活，諸如衛星傳送、新創產業、軍事技術等。連結虛擬和現實的宇宙空間，現行國際法必須處理嶄新議題的太空垃圾、太空國際法制化、太空資產保護等。同時間，從太空發射的低軌衛星訊息傳送、氣象觀測、衛星遙測等，也與一國內的太空法規範息息相關。這些都挑戰目前主權國家在國際社會的行為，以及在國內制定太空政策的想像。本文取日本太空發展之例，從公共財理論的概念分析太空集體財和私有財的內涵。發現由於太空的..

The dispute settlement system, often considered as the “crown jewel” of the WTO, is in a present crisis and becomes the crown of thorns. Over the past years, the United States through the use of the WTO’s consensus requirements has successfully blocked the launch of a process to select the Appellate Body members.
