Reviews

'A fresh look at the international politics of space activity with well-researched case studies. Paikowky's book is a valuable addition to the field.' James Clay Moltz, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California 'Advanced space capabilities provide a nation state with both tangible and symbolic geopolitical, strategic, and security benefits. By using the concept of a 'space club' as a way to analyze a state's decision to acquire those capabilities and competition and cooperation among space faring countries, Deganit Paikowsky provides fresh insights and a productive way of understanding global space activity.' John Logsdon, Professor Emeritus, George Washington University and Founder of George Washington University's Space Policy Institute Advance praise: 'A fresh look at the international politics of space activity with well-researched case studies.
