Spacepower for a New Millennium examines how military space activities might best contribute to United States national security by analyzing key current and future issues such as missile defense and how to organize for military space. Composed of essays written by eminent participants in the realms of space, politics, academia, and national security, this book focuses on the issues raised in U.S. Space Command's 1998 report, Long Range Plan: Implementing USSPACECOM Vision for 2020. The book is divided into four parts: current military space issues, space and military defense, organizing for military space missions and future military space missions.

ong valued by instructors of courses in political science, international relations, military affairs, and American national security, "American Defense Policy" remains the most complete introduction to the vital security issues facing the United States. Thoroughly updated to include the challenges of post-Cold War security, the seventh edition returns to the book's classic format of organizing essential readings around a defense policy process model. Part 1 introduces the subject and establishes the context for studying American defense policy making; Part 2 examines the roles of the chief players in policy formation and implementation; Part 3 outlines the various processes involved in policy formulation; and Parts 4 and 5 address current U.S. defense policies, reviewing excerpts from key defense policy statements and assessing the likely challenges for future policy makers.
