Career before exopolitics

Dr. Salla is an internationally recognized scholar in international politics, conflict resolution and U.S. foreign policy, and is the author and editor of an additional four books including The Hero's Journey Toward a Second American Century (Greenwood Press, 2002); Essays on Peace (Central Queensland University Press, 1995); Why the Cold War Ended (Greenwood Press, 1995); and Islamic Radicalism, Muslim Nations and the West (1993). He has also authored more than seventy articles, chapters, and book reviews on peace, ethnic conflict, and conflict resolution.

Evolution towards exopolitics

Dr. Salla says that his interest in exopolitics developed from his experience in international politics. He claims that many, if not all, international conflicts were related to the extraterrestrial presence. He launched his website with the online publication of his first study paper, The Need for Exopolitics, in January 2003. His interest in the extraterrestrial life issue was greatly influenced by the press conference of The Disclosure Project at the Washington National Press Club on May 9, 2001. Dr. Salla argues that as many as sixteen different extraterrestrial races currently interact with humanity in a variety of ways, with a number of other races simply monitoring the Earth.
