But they have not yet fought in this environment. This book examines the international politics of the space age from 1957 to the present, the reasons why strategic restraint emerged among the major military powers, and how recent trends toward weaponization may challenge prior norms of conflict avoidance. James Clay Moltz analyzes the competing demands of national interests in space against the shared interests of all spacefarers in preserving the safe use of space in the face of emerging threats, such as man-made orbital debris.</p> <p>This new edition offers analysis of the 2011 to 2018 period, including the second term of President Obama and the beginning of the Trump administration. Focusing on great power competition and cooperation, as well as questions related to the sustainability of current and future national space policies, <i>The Politics of Space Security</i> is an authoritative history of the space age.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>In <i>The Politics of Space Security</i>, James Clay Moltz presents a concise yet brilliant analysis of the history of space security through the lens of the political environment that shaped it.
