Penetrating the Space Medium: A Roadmap for Alliance/Coalitions
Abstract
As the 21st century rapidly approaches, the evolving global community is experiencing a reevaluation of culture's role as it transcends into the space medium. The fourth dimension of space is becoming a legitimate frontier for future alliance/coalitions. However, the ability to acquire access for alliance/coalition members will be dependent upon space-faring nations willingness to share expensive and vulnerable technologies. This technological dependency could undermine the fabric of the multinational relationship. The roadmap is offered as a means for future alliance/coalitions to proceed. It is built on the premise that the foundation for alliance/coalition progress is based on increased cultural awareness. It is through greater understanding of the cultural mind set that increased interaction between the member nations of alliance/coalitions can be accomplished. The paper will explore opportunities for improved interaction, to include expanding the influence of alliance/coalitions on command structures and increasing cultural awareness opportunities within the military at large.
