Seeking New World Vistas
Praeger Publishers Inc (Verlag)

Both technologically and organizationally, the Gulf War served as a watershed for military and political leaders. As a result, the great changes occurring across the spectrum of space activities, as well as the commercial applications of space, have become particularly critical to the field. Handberg argues that one unintended outcome of current policy decisions could well be a resumption of the global arms race as powers jockey for positions in the heavens. Too much of the current military advocacy is premised upon temporary advantages, both military and economic, which will dissipate in time. The political leadership of the United States must be fully engaged in this debate, given its crucial importance for future American national security.
ROGER HANDBERG is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for Space Policy and Law, University of Central Florida. His published work includes books on space policy (both US and comparative), articles on space policy, science and technology, defense issues, courts and law (both comparative and U.S.), and work on public opinion. He is the author of The Future of the Space Industry (Quorum, 1995) and coauthor with Joan Johnson-Freese for Space, the Dormant Frontier: Changing Paradigm for the 21st Century (Praeger, 1997).
