Description: This volume brings together essays examining the phenomenon of sea power in Asia from a variety of functional and country perspectives. It is useful to briefly explain the structure and logic of the book. The first three chapters of the volume
are designed to supply a historical backdrop to contemporary Asian maritime affairs. Thus, this first section is essentially chronological, tracing the dominant Asian sea powers of the past. The book begins with an overview of China’s role
in shaping the Asian maritime order since antiquity, providing a baseline for analyzing Chinese maritime ambitions and capabilities today. This is followed by a study of Great Britain’s strategic retreat from the Pacific theater during the
interwar period. It offers lessons on how a great naval power can adjust to an environment undergoing rapid changes and stresses as multiple maritime states rise simultaneously. This section ends with a chapter on U.S. maritime strategy from the late nineteenth century to the present day. This narrative of America’s quest for maritime power in Asia underscores the elusiveness of a stable strategy in a region that has been repeatedly convulsed by unexpected and sudden strategic transitions.
