 | Traditionally, the U.S. has been the unchallenged leader in space and, subsequently, the leader in cooperative international space ventures. Recently however, NASA has been increasingly unable to offer much to other countries in the way of attractive opportunities for
international space ventures. Added to a less-than-positive image of the U.S. regarding space, and the increasingly pluralistic nature of the space community, dominant past patterns of international space cooperation may well be changing. This book examines how and why these patterns are changing, and the ramifications for the U.S. space program. |

bias, and presents well formulated conclusions - which makes it worthwhile reading."$I-- John Egan, $IEarth Space Review$I, Vol. 1, No. 4, 1992. | |
