Description:
This book explores the privatization of space and its global impact on the future of commerce, peace and conflict. This volume addresses the new rhetoric of space race and weaponization, with a focus on how the costs of potential conflict in space would discourage open conflict and enable global cooperation.
Review Quotes:
"Optimism amid talk of war in space is the theme of Professor Whitman Cobb's thoughtful analysis of ongoing space politics; an analysis grounded in realism rather than idealism."
-- Roger Handberg, Professor of Political Science, University of Central Florida, USA
