Host Ilen Madhavji is joined by Mai'a Cross, co-editor of the new HJD Special Issues on Space Diplomacy, to explore how diplomacy operates in outer space. With the United States and China engaging in a "Space Race 2.0" we are often exposed to the security implications of space competition, but space diplomacy can give us confidence that collaboration can be an even stronger driving force for peace, development, and exploration for all of humankind. After listening, if you’re left with more questions than answers, or just want to say hello, please reach out to us at podcasthjd@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you!
