This final chapter draws the discussion on the governance of maritime and outer space together beginning with the philosophical implications and significance of both sectors and how these interrelate. The benefits and drawbacks and the public attitude to outer space are discussed and then the significance of religion to both sectors. Individualism and its importance in both is outlined. Power and its relationship to governance for both sectors is considered along with its geopolitical dimension, polycentricity and the nation-state. Ethics are central to both maritime and outer space exploration and exploitation, and this leads in to a further consideration of colonialism, empire-building and the possibility of alien life. Finally, the chapter ends with a wide discussion of art, architecture, music and painting in both sectors and how these relate to the wider considerations of governance in both the maritime and outer space sectors.
