It's dissertation unembargo day! My PhD dissy, "Controlling the Northern Seas: The Influence of Exclusive Economic Zones on the Development of
Norwegian, Danish, and Canadian Naval Forces," is now available: prism.ucalgary.ca/handle/1880/11…

A quick guide follows: 1/7
First half (139 pages) consists of the theory chapters; discusses/defines #seapower, #seacontrol, and #smallnavies. Tries to unify different uses of those terms into something consistent. Almost Gorkan in its simplicity but the gruntwork keeps a measure of order in the chaos. 2/7
The second half is the juicy empirical stuff, going from 🇳🇴through 🇩🇰 to 🇨🇦. Basically establishes a century-long context (ships take a long time!) to see how constabulary seapower developed despite military demands. Here are some topics that aren't explicitly subheadinged: 3/7

Now Out in Paperback! “#China Goes to #Sea: #Maritime Transformation in Comparative Historical Perspective”

amazon.com/China-Goes-Sea…

@NavalWarCollege @ChinaMaritime is proud to publish this new version w/ @NavalInstitute @USNIBooks!

Come for the #maps, stay for the #history...
Honored to have #JonathanSpence’s endorsement:

“The maritime #history of #China has long been a neglected field..China Goes to Sea bring[s] that knowledge-gap to an end..will be an indispensable companion to those readers seeking to understand where China’s navy may be heading.”
As European #naval powers & even the @USNavy struggle with ship numbers, #China has gone to #sea.

Represents the reversal of a great historical trend that began 600 years ago, when China withdrew from the seas & European naval expansion spread Western influence around the globe.

Given historical and current events, will be starting this thread to post on Seapower, the oceans as our global commercial commons and most important strategic domain, and all ships, vessels, boats, etc, floating & submerged, that interest me. "Look always to your moat!" Image
Always be sensible discussing #Seapower Image
In peace & war, the sea & its sailors are - esp if you speak English - your most crucial strategic doman. The ships at sea as combatants & escorts & cargo/POL carriers plus your ports/wharves/railheads all join up to make supply chains work ... Our most precious infrastructure Image
