Description

Scholars from around the world, and from several disciplines, offer a wide-ranging assessment of the current status of space-based weaponry. Regional and technical specialists offer their analysis of the major powers' chief interests in space, and also examine the broader issues of ICBM proliferation, testing, monitoring and verification, as well as possible opportunties for co-operation between states with a stake in space power.
