To investigate how space actors implement a global commons framework across institutional space agreements and evaluate its effect on operational governance rules.
Empirical analysis of an institutional dataset comprising 1,042 space arrangements.
Identified and evaluated a subset of agreements containing explicit references to global commons concepts.
Global commons principles are rarely included in bilateral agreements and remain largely absent from recent treaties drafted by major space actors.
Arrangements incorporating global commons concepts do not establish significantly different operational rules compared to conventional space agreements.
A coherent and formalized global commons governance model has yet to be institutionalized in international space practice.
