Recenzje

'Paikowsky has made an excellent foray into the theorization of astropolitical prestige in international relations. This book is a welcome addition to the nascent field of astropolitics in IR, and demonstrates that astropolitics is the continuation of terran politics by other means.' Bleddyn E. Bowen, International Affairs
