Satellites, orbital weapons and the contest for space metals form the subject Tim Marshall calls astropolitics.
The book carries his geopolitical method off the planet, arguing that positions and resources above Earth will shape rivalry between states much as rivers, mountains and sea lanes have done below it. Russia, China and the United States are treated as the principal players, with chapters covering the renewed space race, military capability in orbit, the economics of extraction, and the thin legal framework surrounding all of it. The writing stays conversational, as his earlier geopolitical books do.
What this edition offers:
• Geopolitical analysis applied to orbit, the moon and beyond
• Comparison of American, Chinese and Russian space ambitions
• Coverage of space economics, resources and emerging military uses
• Marshall's plain, accessible style for non-specialist readers
For readers of international affairs, defence and popular science, and for students of global politics. Available at Boipoka.
