An International Relations Perspective on the Science, Politics, and Potential of an Extraterrestrial Sino-US Arms Race | ||
in Asian Perspective , Volume 35, Issue 4 (October-December 2011) , 2011 , 643-658 | ||
This article brings an international relations perspective to the discussion of the science and policy of avoiding a Sino-US arms race in space. A blind adherence to realist and space nationalist assumptions, without considering alternative approaches such as the policy options offered here, will likely doom China and the United States to a long, expensive, and potentially dangerous arms race in space for decades to come. | ||
