The second volume in the series, “Why Did Germany Sign the Artemis Accords? An Analysis of Multilateralism in Space Policy,” written by Lea Schöllhorn, offers valuable insights into German space diplomacy and is aimed at readers interested in international politics, space travel, and multilateralism. The focus is on the question of why Germany joined the Artemis Accords initiated by the US in 2023 – a controversial step that reveals tensions between multilateral tradition and strategic interests. Based on theoretical approaches of neoliberal institutionalism as well as qualitative document analysis and expert interviews, the author shows how political, diplomatic, and programmatic factors influenced Germany's decision.
