Not much new here. Apparently these disparate essays are the result of a project to develop a theory of spacepower that failed to come to a unified conclusion. I wrote a bit on this subject forty years ago. It's disappointing that so little progress has been made.

After landpower, seapower, and airpower, it became obvious that 'space' is considered to be the forth dimension of geopolitical power, so-called spacepower. This book is a compilation of twenty-plus writings from about a decade with contemporary adaptation. It gives us much perspectives in the process of spacepower theorization which is still an on-going process.
