"This book examines military space strategy within the context of the land and naval strategies of the past. This second edition has been updated and revised, with several new chapters included. The book examines competition and conflict in the space domain, including the methods used and sound counterstrategies to thwart a competitor's efforts. Contrary to many spacepower pundits, the book explains that the space domain is neither inherently offense-dominant, nor is there a first-mover advantage when incorporating a sound space strategy. Offering new insights into the nature of strategic competition in space, this 2nd edition leans heavily on the British maritime experience and the work of Julian Corbett to provide a strategic framework for understanding competition, crisis, and conflict in the space domain. It also includes important concepts from leading theorists and strategists, both past and present, to amplify concepts and provide additional insights into the functioning of space strategy. The book provides a foundational framework by underscoring that space strategy is shaped by the fundamental nature of all warfare, along with the universal principles of strategy and the essential unity of all strategic experience. Warfare is warfare, no matter the domain of operations, and consequently, policymakers and military leaders can look to historical experience and knowledge of past strategic frameworks to help gain insights into the functioning of space warfare. This book will appeal to students of spacepower, defence and strategic studies, and International Relations"--

This new study considers military space strategy within the context of the land and naval strategies of the past. Explaining why and how strategists note the similarities of space operations to those of the air and naval forces, this book shows why many such strategies unintentionally lead to overemphasizing the importance of space-based offensive weaponry and technology. Counter to most U.S. Air Force doctrines, the book argues that space-based weapons don't imbue superiority. It examines why both air and naval strategic frameworks actually fail to adequately capture the scope of real-world iss.

"Since the Cold War, outer space has become of strategic importance for nations looking to seize the ultimate high ground. World powers establishing a presence there must consider, among other things, how they will conduct warfare in orbit. Leaders must dispense with "Buck Rogers" notions about operations in space and realize that policies there will have serious ramifications for their success in geopolitics. How should nations view space? How should they fight there? What would space warfare look like and how should strategists approach it? Offering critical observations regarding this unique theater of international relations, a military professional explores the strategic implications as human affairs move beyond Earth's atmosphere."--

THIS PAPER EXAMINES SOME ASPECTS OF POTENTIAL SPACE WARS THAT ARE IGNORED BY EVERYONE WRITING ON THE SUBJECT. THESE INCLUDE ATMOSPHERIC AND IONOSPHERIC MODIFICATION THROUGH THE USE OF IONIZING RADICATION AND CHEMICAL RELEASES, NATURAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS INFRARED EMISSION, EXCITATION OF NATURAL PHENOMENA BY MAND-MADE MEANS, AND EMP, THE PULSE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION PRODUCTION BY NUCLEAR DETONATIONS. THESE "EXOTIC EFFECTS" OF SPACE WAR MUST BE CONSIDERED IN FUTURE SDI DEVELOPMENT.

A obra "Space warefare, strategy, principles and policy", do autor norte-americano John J. Klein, possui como objetivo central o desenvolvimento de uma proposta de estratégia para o poder espacial, tendo como alicerce a clássica teoria do poder naval de Julian Corbett. Ao longo do livro, o autor lança mão de diferentes analogias e paralelos entre conceitos já conhecidos do ambiente naval para demonstrar suas possíveis aplicações ao ambiente espacial.
Trata-se de uma obra pode ser de valia para acadêmicos da área de Defesa e Ciência/Tecnologia, além de militares e estudiosos dos campos de Ciência Política e Relações Internacionais e, tendo em vista o amplo leque de conceitos e teorias abordadas, pode constituir referência para eventuais estudos e pesquisas em tais áreas.
