Escalation At Sea: Stability And Instability In Maritime East Asia, Ian Bowers
Escalation At Sea: Stability And Instability In Maritime East Asia, Ian Bowers
Naval War College Review
Low-level instability is to be expected with maritime boundary disputes or when power competition occurs at sea; however, sustained escalatory cycles are unlikely because of the characteristics of the maritime strategic environment.

Change And Continuity—The U.S. Coast Guard Today, Thomas H. Collins
Naval War College Review
The year 2003 was a watershed for today’s Coast Guard. The Coast Guard’s roles as a military service, as a federal law-enforcement agency, as a regulatory authority, and as a member of the new Department of Homeland Security place it squarely at the center of national initiatives to reduce security risks to our nation.

The Growing Prospects For Maritime Security Cooperationin Southeast Asia., John F. Bradford
The Growing Prospects For Maritime Security Cooperationin Southeast Asia., John F. Bradford
Naval War College Review
The sea dominates Southeast Asia, covering roughly 80 percent of its area. The region’s islands and peninsulas, wedged between the Pacific and Indian oceans, border major arteries of communication and commerce. Thus the eco- nomic and political affairs of Southeast Asia have been dominated by the sea. In the premodern period, ports such as Svirijaya and Malacca established empires based upon sea power in area waters. In succeeding centuries European warships and their heavy guns were the keys to colonization.

“A Cooperative Strategy For 21st Century Seapower”—A View From Outside, Geoffrey Till
Naval War College Review
Many navies around the world are thinking through their own strategic conundrums in matching resources to commitments and so are watching with great interest how the U.S. Navy “squares this circle.” How will its strategic thinking develop? How will it structure the fleet? How will it operate? How should everyone else respond?

Suppression Of Piracy And Maritime Terrorism, Martin N. Murphy
Suppression Of Piracy And Maritime Terrorism, Martin N. Murphy
Naval War College Review
On 12 October 2000, two men from an organization aligned with al-Qa‘ida loaded a rigid raider (a small boat with glass-reinforced-plastic hull) withexplosives and drove it into the side of the guided-missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67). Seventeen sailors lost their lives. This was a seminal event. It epitomized small war versus “big” war and the threat that small-war tactics could present to “big war” fleets. It was also an echo of the U.S. Navy’s past. As the initial alarm faded, the Navy’s response became largely inward looking and defensive, limited for the most part to the implementation of more …

Naval War College Review
As the Navy continues to grapple with its priorities and overall direction in the context of its ongoing work on a new Maritime Strategy, it is worthwhile taking a fresh look at the complex of issues connected with what is perhaps best referred to as “disorder at sea.” The most potentially threatening form of disorder at sea is maritime terrorism, including not only terrorist attacks on shipping but the use of the maritime domain to transport terrorists or weapons or to mount attacks from the sea against coastal targets.
Fresh Thinking For An Old Problem—Report Of The Naval War College Workshop On Countering Maritime Piracy, James Kraska Jagc
Fresh Thinking For An Old Problem—Report Of The Naval War College Workshop On Countering Maritime Piracy, James Kraska Jagc
Naval War College Review
Rampant piracy off the Horn of Africa has focused world attention and produced a variety of commentaries and prescriptions. An April 2009 Naval War College workshop of experts in the field pointed to the hard realities behind the platitudes.
Building Maritime Security In Southeast Asia, Victor Huang
Building Maritime Security In Southeast Asia, Victor Huang
Naval War College Review
Today’s globalized economy is intricately interconnected and is heavily dependent on maritime trade in order to sustain the movement of energy, raw materials, and finished goods. The arteries of global trade include the narrow waterways of Southeast Asia, with about a third of the world’s trade and half its oil transiting through the Straits of Malacca and Singapore alone. As China and India continue their strong growth, sea trade through the straits is expected to increase correspondingly.
The Political Economy Of Piracy In The South China Sea., David Rosenberg
The Political Economy Of Piracy In The South China Sea., David Rosenberg
Naval War College Review
Piracy is an ancient, persistent, and elusive phenomenon in the South China Sea. In the past two decades it has increased substantially, leading to a re- newed interest in piracy and its possible nexus with maritime terrorism, espe- cially after the 11 September 2001 attacks on the United States. Although it has been widely reported and investigated, piracy remains difficult to understand and to control.
The U.S. Navy, Jonathan Stevenson
The U.S. Navy, Jonathan Stevenson
Naval War College Review
Although Africa has long been a low strategic priority for the United States, Washington now has a sharp and pronounced strategic interest in protecting access to rich reserves of sub-Saharan oil and gas, mainly in the vicinity of the Gulf of Guinea, as part of its drive to reduce dependence on Middle East suppliers. By 2010, Africa’s share of U.S. oil imports could rise to 20 percent, and China has begun to engage the United States in a geopolitical contest for hydro- carbons and other economic and political benefits in sub-Saharan Africa.
Maritime Information-Sharing Strategy, Alberto A. Soto
Maritime Information-Sharing Strategy, Alberto A. Soto
Naval War College Review
Information sharing is a fundamental requirement for meeting most of the current challenges of international maritime security. During the gather- ing of naval and maritime authorities at the nineteenth International Sea Power Symposium, held during October 2009 at the U.S. Naval War College, this topic captured the attention of most of the international representatives. It has become obvious that, together with globalization, the multiple threats and challenges of the maritime environment have assumed a transnational nature and require a coordinated effort to address them.

Engaging Oceania, Sea Sovereign Thomas
Naval War College Review
Preoccupied with counterterrorism and democracy building in the Middle East, the United States has allowed its relationship with Oceania to wither. It is time to renew America’s relationship with this strategically crucial maritime area.
Progressing Maritime Security Cooperation In The Indian Ocean, Lee Cordner
Progressing Maritime Security Cooperation In The Indian Ocean, Lee Cordner
Naval War College Review
In the Indian Ocean region, the obstacles to maritime security cooperation are especially severe, but the need for that cooperation is especially great. The prospect that nothing will be done is all too likely—and in view of the risks, unacceptable.
Toward An African Maritime Economy—Empowering The African Union To Revolutionize The African Maritime Sector, Michael L. Baker
Toward An African Maritime Economy—Empowering The African Union To Revolutionize The African Maritime Sector, Michael L. Baker
Naval War College Review
The maritime sector is the key to African prosperity; the continent’s leaders recognize this and have taken certain necessary steps. But it is time to pull these efforts together and move beyond policy papers and into strategy-based action aimed not at symptoms but core problems.

The South African Navy And African Maritime Security, Deane-Peter Baker
Naval War College Review
History, budgetary constraints, and national policy choices have left the South African Navy unable to contribute substantially to the region’s maritime security. There is hope for change, however, and a possible way forward.
The New U.S. Maritime Strategy: Another View From Outside, Geoffrey Till
The New U.S. Maritime Strategy: Another View From Outside, Geoffrey Till
Naval War College Review
The refreshed “Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower” raises a number of questions: What is this new “strategy,” whom is it for, what has changed, and how will other navies and their nations react?
Blunt Defenders Of Sovereignty - The Rise Of Coast Guards In East And Southeast Asia, Lyle J. Morris
Blunt Defenders Of Sovereignty - The Rise Of Coast Guards In East And Southeast Asia, Lyle J. Morris
Naval War College Review
What is the role of coast guards in the realm of territorial disputes? Until ten years ago or so, few policy makers in East and Southeast Asia had to grapple with this question, because regional navies, not coast guards, were the central actors asserting sovereignty in disputed areas.
