Authors:
- Addresses China´s possible ambition to send its taikonauts to the Moon and elaborates on its implications on an international level
- Disentangles China´s space strategy from a wide range of perspectives and provides novel and in-depth understanding of the underlying philosophy of China´s political behavior, both domestically and internationally and how space is instrumentalised in this respect
- Investigates how Chinese determination to go to the Moon could affect the rest of the institutional landscape, performing a critical analysis on the much-discussed scenario of a new space race for the re-conquest of the Moon and accompanies the analysis with an informed assessment of alternative scenarios where more cooperative pathways to future space exploration might become possible
- Offers the first holistic reflection on the opportunities and challenges Europe will be facing vis-à-vis Chinese space ambitions and assesses the different strategies available to European stakeholders in this regard
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Studies in Space Policy (STUDSPACE, volume 11)
