Geopolitical Significance of India–EU Space Cooperation: A Focus on Earth Observation Data Sharing

This paper explores the geopolitical consequences of India–EU collaboration in space, specifically their partnership in sharing Earth Observation information. Drawing from the theoretical lenses of complex interdependence and neo-functionalism, the study argues that this technical cooperation promotes increased strategic convergence. The mutual access to data facilitated by India's space sensing capabilities and the European Union's Copernicus Programme not only fulfils scientific and practical functions but also enhances strategic independence by challenging the dominance of other space powers. The collaboration strengthens environmental diplomacy, disaster resilience, and security while projecting India and the European Union as middle powers capable of shaping norms in the governance of outer space. The central argument is that this partnership serves as a multidimensional tool of geopolitics, ecological management, and strategy, rather than merely a technical agreement.
