SPI Director, Dr. Scott Pace, Published in Journal of Space Safety Engineering — Examines Possible Futures for Crewed Space Station Cooperation
SPI Director, Dr. Scott Pace, was published in the Journal of Space Safety Engineering, a quarterly publication of the International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety (IAASS).
His article, Alternative Futures for Crewed Space Cooperation After the International Space Station, considers the centrality of the International Space Station (ISS) in international human spaceflight cooperation, its diminishing technical viability, and prospective futures for crewed operations.
These alternatives include extending the ISS, participating in the Chinese Space Station, creating multiple smaller government and private platforms for human habitation, focusing on human missions to the Moon and Mars, or ceasing participation in human space exploration altogether.
Dr. Pace’s article evaluates the feasibility and attractiveness of these options for spacefaring states, and identifies the key technical, economic, and policy uncertainties that are likely to shape the future of human space exploration after the ISS.

“Winning a seat at the table: Strategic routes by emerging powers to gain privileges in exclusive formal clubs” was published by the journal Contemporary Security Policy and authored by one of our esteemed non-resident scholars, Deganit Paikowsky.
In this article, we focus on emerging powers that aspire to enjoy privileges enjoyed by established powers. These privileges vary in their level of institutionalization: full formal privileges, partial formal privileges, and informal privileges. We identify two alternative strategic routes through which emerging powers target these three types of privileges: a top-down and a bottom-up routes. We analyze two factors that impact the choice between these two routes: restrictiveness of eligibility criteria for winning privileges, and the expected levels of opposition by both established powers and outsiders. We examine the impact of these factors on two cases in which India negotiated privileges: India’s top-down campaign to win a permanent seat on the UN Security Council; and India’s bottom-up campaign to enter the nuclear club as a de facto nuclear weapon state. Highly restrictive eligibility criteria along with high levels of opposition drove India to gradually seek nuclear privileges through a bottom-up route.
