New Oberg paper on US/China space cooperation policy
The George Marshall Institute is pleased to announce the release of two publications by the Marshall Institute under the auspices of our National Security Space Program. The first is a Policy Outlook by James E. Oberg given as a presentation at the Workshop on Space, Strategy and China's Future at the Air War College Center for Asian Strategic Studies on June 27, 2006. The paper examines recent calls for expanding U.S. - Chinese space cooperation and the need to carefully engineer any future relationship in this regard. Describing the short list of potential benefits of such a relationship, he concludes: "These benefits are nowhere on the scale of grandiose promises once made for the 'Russian space partnership,' and sometimes still claimed, falsely or in ignorance, to actually have been achieved, or the fanciful hope-driven hand-waving of current advocates of a grand new U.S.-Chinese space partnership. But they could have the advantage of being real, and of quite possibly coming true, if properly negotiated." The report also contains a useful review of the U.S. - Russian space partnership while questioning the necessity of similar U.S.-Chinese cooperation. Copies of the Policy Outlook are available at: http://www.marshall.org/pdf/materials/443.pdf. |

"Eric Chomko" wrote One wonders how the US-China relationship WRT space effects the Russia-China relationship WRT to space. Assuming you meant 'affects' instead of 'effects', it's a good question and a lever for advantageous bargaining -- on our side. |
