Abstract
The economist is interested only in specialized aspects of sovereignty. He is interested in jurisdiction, only insofar as different laws, regulations, or policies may affect economic factors in one country or another. Whether the country adheres to the three-mile, the five-mile or the two hundred-mile limit is significant for a few questions, such as fishing rights in the Humboldt current off Peru. How far a country’s sovereignty extends in airspace is academic compared with the problem of getting communication and other satellites into the air, or getting a satellite down if it violates a country’s airspace.
