Illuminative and Educational. I Learned

¶ … illuminative and educational. I learned something new and I read perhaps 5000 journal articles a year and probably 500 books, many on economics and I have never seen anything on the public / private management of interorbital communications. I found the content accessible, not overly technical, and the figures helped illustrate the concepts effectively and clearly. The figures enhanced, rather than simply repeated or obscured the discussion. Minor specific note in text points out one opportunity for increased consistency in one of the figures.

You should see specific comments inserted in the text. You may have to adjust 'turn markup on' or 'view normal' etc. But you should see a line of comments down the right-hand margin. If not, let me know and I will try to re-format although that will take some time. 'Track changes' should also display the comments.

In general, my top four recommendations are,

Take a deliberate scan for repetition one more time;

Will need to harmonize citation styles prior to submission. This depends on the publication of course but as is here, references do not match throughout.

I would personally revise every single passive verb construction into active voice. You will see specific examples in notes in text. Why?

More direct; tighter; stronger.

Active voice = clearer; less internal switching of direction, reference.

This does not mean shorter sentences and some passive is ok but ~95% active is "better writing," and what I read here is perhaps 60% passive verb constructions.

Likewise pronouns: In several places I have to stop and go back to verify exactly whom or what "they" or "it" or "them" referred to. Again this does not suggest get rid of every pronoun but pronouns introduce danger of incorrect reference or at very least require the reader to go back and verify what the pronoun refers to.I would use search key for "is," "are," and then "it" and "they" and revise where potentially confusing.

THANK YOU for an educational order!!! I tried to avoid trivial issues of word choice or personal taste, and only comment where mechanics or rules seemed threatened-

Ps. You will have to delete these first two pages for the pagination to autocorrect back, I apologize for the inconvenience but I must attach the disclaimer as per company policy-

Abstract:

Security has long been considered a public good whereby the government bears responsibility for its provision. Over the last few decades, the concept of security has become hazy as it has broadened to include non-state actors and characteristics of private, club and common goods.
