Outer Space as a Shared Frontier: Canada and the United States, Cooperation Between Unequal Partners

In: American behavioral scientist: ABS, Band 47, Heft 10, S. 1247-1262

Abstract

Canada's relationship with the United States in space activities has been a difficult one. This article explores the evolution of this duet and the changing international space policy context. For the United States, the relationship has been more marginal than for Canada, but other alternatives such as the European Space Agency have increased Canada's degrees of freedom from American dominance.
