      abstract = {"This book examines transatlantic politics through an  analysis of 60 years of US-European strategic interaction  in space. The significance of space politics for the study  of transatlantic relations receives surprisingly little  scholarly attention. As a theatre of interaction,  transatlantic space politics reflects the vicissitudes of  European and US power in the international system. An  understanding of space politics is therefore vital in  understanding the status and prospect of the transatlantic  order. Using established IR theories, the author  investigates transatlantic space politics and proposes a  theoretical explanation, which is distinct from the  conventional wisdom of the transatlantic security  community. More specifically, he distinguishes between the  constitutive and regulatory effects of the transatlantic  security community, an approach rarely employed in other  research in the field. Overall, this book suggests not only  that the transatlantic institutional pillar requires  repair, but also that the ideational factors need to be  revitalised in order to consolidate the transatlantic  alliance.This book will be of much interest to students of  space power, transatlantic politics, strategic studies,  foreign policy and IR/security studies in general"--},
