List of Contributors



Index

"It is a highly scholarly book on the role navies play both in war and peace. The authors’ scholarship is unmatched. It should be required reading in universities and military academies."—Washington Book Review



"Its commonplace to reduce maritime strategy to navies pummeling one another for command of the sea. By contrast, the contributors to Maritime Strategy and Global Order rightly keep their gaze wide. It alights on such matters as seagoing commerce, international law, and even ship design as well as combat. A well-written tour dhorizon of a topic of mounting importance."—James Holmes, Professor of Strategy, US Naval War College



"Far too little has been written on maritime strategy. This excellent volume fills an important gap by intelligently addressing the whole spectrum of issues from the legal normative framework to the varying concrete issues troubling the littoral states of the different seas. Drawing on the leading expertise of its contributors, it contextualizes the use of naval force within broader historical, political and economic contexts, in war and in the much more common periods of relative peace."—Beatrice Heuser, Chair of International Relations, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Reading



"This wide-ranging volume provides a major reappraisal of maritime strategy, covering historical, regional, and contemporary dimensions. It offers an essential primer for defense policy makers, naval officers, and students of strategic affairs."—Theo Farrell, Head of the Department of War Studies, Kings College London



"This book is an eminently readable assessment of grand strategy, maritime power, and world order. Its treatment of historical, regional, and global trends is penetrating and essential for all those interested in the evolution of international order."—Sten Rynning, Professor of Political Science, Head, Center for War Studies, University of Southern Denmark
