520 _aWestern European Military Space Policy identifies and assesses the current situation regarding Europe's military use of space. It analyzes the plans and intentions of government and international agencies while suggesting the most appropriate way forward for this aspect of space/security in the 1990s.Recent developments in the military use of space by the superpowers have prompted a reassessment by Western European governments of the need for Europe to possess its own military space capabilities. The author questions whether Europe should acquire an autonomous military space capability taking into consideration the developments in European defence politics and possible developments in the arms control domain.
