If humanity could somehow leave violence behind as it moved into space, perhaps peace would finally reign. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBucking a half-century of \"space race\" scholarship, Stephen Buono argues that despite waging a totalizing Cold War, the United States achieved stunning diplomatic successes that heralded the cosmos as a realm of peace and cooperation. The early story of space politics is not primarily one of militarization, but rather of political prescience and restraint. \u003ci\u003eThe Province of All Mankind\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that space became a unique domain of American foreign relations and international law, and provides lessons for the Second Cold War unfolding over the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Buono is a Harper \u0026amp; Schmidt Collegiate Assistant Professor in the Social Sciences at the University of Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51764115996946,"sku":"9781501782923","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_b8c0a7ce-1128-4184-bd6a-235a131f32e9.jpg?v=1764756506","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-province-of-all-mankind-how-outer-space-became-american-foreign-policy-9781501782923","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
