Dissent, revolution and liberty beyond Earth[electronic resource] /edited by Charles S. Cockell. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2016. - viii, 240 p. :ill. (some col.), digital ;24 cm. - Space and society,2199-3882. - Space and society..

Introduction: Dissent, Revolution and Liberty in Space -- Future Generations and the Right to Dissent -- Architects of Revolution: Design Philosophies to Maximise Extraterrestrial -- Lunar Labor -- Disobedience in Outer -- Children and Dissent - Managing Teenage Sturm und Drang in -- Art, Dissent and Revolution in Extraterrestrial -- Overlords, Vassals, Serfs: The Space Economy and the Return to -- An International Space Authority to Accelerate Revolutionary Space Development -- What Happens To Dissent When Flight Is An Option? -- Power and Discipline in extra-terrestrial communities -- Frontier Freedom and the Cultural Imperative.

This volume provides an in-depth discussion on the central question - how can people express and survive dissent and disagreement in confined habitats in space? The discussion is an important one because it could be that the systems of inter-dependence required to survive in space are so strong that dissent becomes impossible. John Locke originally said that people have a right to use revolution to overthrow a despotic regime. But if revolution causes violence and damage that causes depressurisation with the risk of killing many people, is it even permissible to have a revolution? How then are people to express their liberty or dissatisfaction with their rulers? The emergence of structures of dissent and disagreement is an essential part of the construction of a framework of liberty in space (revolution is just the extreme example) and thus the topic deserves in-depth and immediate attention. Even today, the way in which we assemble organisations and corporations for the government and private exploration of space must take into account the need for mechanisms to allow people to express dissent.
