Space technology : from national development to international cooperation

Present mechanisms to expand global initiatives in the frontier of space have intrinsic limitations. The dominant powers limit access to space technology by other nations on strategic grounds, thus preventing the emergence of international cooperation. / If existing patterns of space activities are maintained, the future of East-West and North-South relations in space will be one of growing tension. Four measures to bring about peaceful coexistence and growth in space, however, can be adopted by the international community. These are: (1) creation of an international satellite agency for the monitoring of arms movements and international crises; (2) establishment of measures to prevent deployment of weapons in space; (3) promotion of privatization of space technologies; (4) establishment of regional space agencies among developing countries.
