Will the US remain the real leader of human space exploration? A comparative assessment of space exploration policies.

NOTE: “Highlights” (from the publisher’s site abstract or the TOC):
Analysis of human space exploration dynamics in USA, Russia, China, Europe, Japan and India.
USA has the largest civil space budget, but is no longer trusted as a leader due to its evasiveness.
Europe and Japan are in a wait and see mode, human space exploration is not a real priority. Russia is wealthy, but the priorities are more on space for the benefit of the nation’s development.
China has high ambitions in space and human space exploration, and the resources to realise.
