| Summary/Abstract |
As the prospect of a new Cold War between China and the United States and its allies grows, it is pertinent to examine the original Cold War, which dominated the international system for four decades after the end of the Second World War. At the heart of the contest was a perception of living standards. The Soviet Union just could not compete on this front. But China today, which has a rapidly rising living standard, presents a very different challenge, especially as the United States' capitalist model falters. As Americans are increasingly tempted by authoritarian responses to their economy's ills, China seems likely to win in the 'market of ideas'.

| Summary/Abstract |
A new arena of international competition is emerging - in space. The New Space Race is quite different from the old one, when super-powers vied to put men or women in space or on the Moon. There are many more competitors but also more celestial bodies to conquer. Dozens of countries have plans to reach the Moon in the near future. But some are looking well beyond the Moon, even to Mars. The scramble to reach the red planet is very different, however, from the concurrent race to return to the Moon. It is way more complex and expensive for starters.
