Space Diplomacy --7. Trends and Future Options --Notes --IndexSpace has become increasingly crowded since the end of the Cold War, with new countries, companies, and even private citizens operating satellites and becoming spacefarers. This book offers general readers a valuable primer on space policy from an international perspective. It examines the competing themes of space competition and cooperation while providing readers with an understanding of the basics of space technology, diplomacy, commerce, science, and military applications. The recent expansion of human space activity poses new challenges to existing treaties and other governance tools for space, increasing the likelihood of conflict over a diminishing pool of beneficial locations and resources close to Earth. Drawing on more than twenty years of experience in international space policy debates, James Clay Moltz examines possible avenues for cooperation among the growing pool of space actors, considering their shared interests in space traffic management, orbital debris control, division of the radio frequency spectrum, and the prevention of military conflict. Moltz concludes with policy recommendations for enhanced international collaboration in space situational awareness, scientific exploration, and restraining harmful military activities.PlanetsExplorationAstronautics and stateAstronauticsInternational cooperationSpace lawSpace securityOuter spaceExplorationPlanetsExploration.Astronautics and state.AstronauticsInternational cooperation.Space law.Space security.629.4/1Moltz James Clay1686634MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822376303321Crowded orbits4059587UNINA05575nam 2200649 450 991080708780332120230803205115.00-8032-6784-30-8032-6786-X(CKB)3710000000238831(EBL)1782644(SSID)ssj0001335397(PQKBManifestationID)11723537(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001335397(PQKBWorkID)11285728(PQKB)10979250(MiAaPQ)EBC1782644(OCoLC)891351206(MdBmJHUP)muse35690(Au-PeEL)EBL1782644(CaPaEBR)ebr10930239(OCoLC)923709581(EXLCZ)99371000000023883120140916h20142014 uy 0engur|||||||nn|ntxtccrBootleggers and borders the paradox of prohibition on a Canada-U.S. borderland /Stephen T.

Moore""""Gallery"""Between 1920 and 1933 the issue of prohibition proved to be the greatest challenge to Canada-U.S. relations. When the United States adopted national prohibition in 1920--ironically, just as Canada was abandoning its own national and provincial experiments with prohibition--U.S. tourists and dollars promptly headed north and Canadian liquor went south. Despite repeated efforts, Americans were unable to secure Canadian assistance in enforcing American prohibition laws until 1930. Bootleggers and Borders explores the important but surprisingly overlooked Canada-U.S. relationship in the Pacific Northwest during Prohibition. Stephen T. Moore maintains that the reason Prohibition created such an intractable problem lies not with the relationship between Ottawa and Washington DC but with everyday operations experienced at the border level, where foreign relations are conducted according to different methods and rules and are informed by different assumptions, identities, and cultural values. Through an exploration of border relations in the Pacific Northwest, Bootleggers and Borders offers insight not only into the Canada-U.S. relationship but also into the subtle but important differences in the tactics Canadians and Americans employed when confronted with similar problems. Ultimately, British Columbia's method of addressing temperance provided the United States with a model that would become central to its abandonment and replacement of Prohibition.
