内容説明

Since the strategic defense initiative was announced in March 1983 our views concerning the use of outer space have been dominated by arguments about the narrowly military requirements of the superpowers. Professor Browan argues that this has resulted in a damaging distortion of our appreciation of the true strategic importance of the area around our planet. In this book the author shows that SDI is a sign of outdated geopolitical thinking; that it is inherently destabilising; and that, crucially, it has prevented space being developed as the ground on which an essential new planetary strategy must be enacted. In the coming decades it will be economic and social crises, and ecological disasters, that will be the important threats to world security; the use of space - specifically through global surveillance and telecommunications - will provide a milieu for a pilot scheme in planetary management.
