There has been quite a bit of scholarship on the history of the space race, but collaboration in space has received little attention and has usually been dismissed as a propaganda side show.

This book thus fills a critical gap by showing the importance of collaboration in space as an antidote to Cold War hostilities and as an important yet underappreciated episode in the development of science and technology in the twentieth century.

Reviews for Collaboration in Space and the Search for Peace on Earth

Andrew Jenks's Collaboration in Space and the Search for Peace on Earth challenges the dominance of the competitive paradigm in the history of early space-flight and turns our attention to international collaboration in space. Jenks's analysis does not end in the deep of outer space. Still, it returns to Earth in order to shed light on political and societal implications resulting from the internationalization of efforts in space. - Darina Volf, A Postdoctoral Researcher at LMU Munich, Technology and Culture 63, no. 3 (2022), pp 885-86.
