This book analyses the rationale and history of space programs in
countries of the developing world. Space was at one time the sole
domain of the wealthiest developed countries. However, the last
couple of decades of the twentieth century and the first decade of
the twenty-first century have witnessed the number of countries
with state-supported space programs blossom. Today, no less than
twenty-five developing states, including the rapidly emerging
economic powers of Brazil (seventh-largest), China
(second-largest), and India (fourth-largest), possess active
national space programs with already proven independent launch
capability or concrete plans to achieve it soon. This work places
these programs within the context of international relations theory
and foreign policy analysis. The author categorizes each space
program into tiers of development based not only on the level of
technology utilised, but on how each fits within the country's
overall national security and/or development policies. The text
also places these programs into an historical context, which
enables the author to demonstrate the logical thread of continuity
in the political rationale for space capabilities generally. This
book will be of much interest to students of space power and
politics, development studies, strategic studies and international
relations in general.
