If humanity could somehow leave violence behind as it moved into space, perhaps peace would finally reign. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBucking a half-century of \"space race\" scholarship, Stephen Buono argues that despite waging a totalizing Cold War, the United States achieved stunning diplomatic successes that heralded the cosmos as a realm of peace and cooperation. The early story of space politics is not primarily one of militarization, but rather of political prescience and restraint. \u003ci\u003eThe Province of All Mankind\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that space became a unique domain of American foreign relations and international law, and provides lessons for the Second Cold War unfolding over the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685358891288,"sku":"9781501782923","price":25.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-province-of-all-mankind-how-outer-space-became-american-foreign-policy-paperback-softback-9781501782923","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
