Book excerpt: The following thesis presents an analysis of the Franco-German relationship in European space policy (EUSP), a new field of European integration in the European Union in such that space has only become shared competence of the European Union with the Lisbon Treaty in 2007. The aim of this work is to verify if the common myth of the Franco-German's leading role for the EU is relevant in a scientific domain that has constructed itself outside and in parallel of the Community institutions. First, a comparison of both France and Germany, will reveal that each country is guided by different historical, strategic and economic logics when dealing with space issues. Second, the thesis suggests that, despite these differences, a Franco-German consensus within the European space triangle will have the effect to reinforce Europe as a first-order space power.
