Island-Hopping With Chinese Characteristics—What The Prc Is Doing In The Pacific Islands, Why It Matters, And Why The Time Has Come To “Block And Build”, Cleo Paskal

Naval War College Review

China’s engagement with western Pacific island nations and its pursuit of influence over their affairs are driven by its conception of comprehensive national power and a need for reliable access from which it might challenge the U.S. military and eventually displace it from the region.


The European Union’S Quest To Become A Global Maritime-Security Provider, Christian Bueger, Timothy Edmunds Jun 2023

The European Union’S Quest To Become A Global Maritime-Security Provider, Christian Bueger, Timothy Edmunds

Naval War College Review

The European Union (EU) seeks to become a global maritime-security actor, yet strategic challenges influence its maritime-security strategy process. Is there a distinctive and coherent EU approach to global maritime security, and how should the EU address the growing range of maritime challenges, including the intensification of militarized competition in the Indo-Pacific?


Letter From Port Moresby, John D. Moore Jan 2022

Letter From Port Moresby, John D. Moore

Naval War College Review

As the world shifts away from the global war on terrorism toward renewed great-power rivalry, areas previously considered strategically peripheral offer the United States and its allies both opportunity and challenge. Papua New Guinea (PNG), with its strategic location in the southwest Pacific, is poised to play a role in this new “Great Game.”


Water Under The Bridge?—The Revival Of New Zealand-United States Maritime Cooperation, Steven Paget Oct 2021

Water Under The Bridge?—The Revival Of New Zealand-United States Maritime Cooperation, Steven Paget

Naval War College Review

The ongoing effective revival of ANZUS relations is vital to allowing the New Zealand Defence Force to fulfill the ever-increasing range of tasks expected of it. Impending capability-replacement decisions provide an opportunity to increase the capacity of the NZDF to operate with the United States in an environment that makes maritime cooperation especially important.


From Orbit To Ocean—Fixing Southeast Asia’S Remote-Sensing Blind Spots, Gregory B. Poling Feb 2021

From Orbit To Ocean—Fixing Southeast Asia’S Remote-Sensing Blind Spots, Gregory B. Poling

Naval War College Review

Improving maritime domain awareness (MDA) in Southeast Asia is critical not only for regional states but for the national-security interests of the United States. MDA in the coming decades will be dominated by cheaper, more-efficient remote-sensing tools, and the United States and other outside parties should shift toward introducing partners to the booming private-sector offerings in remote sensing.

The “Indo” In The “Indo-Pacific”—An Indian View, Yogendra Kumar, Probal K. Ghosh Mar 2020

The “Indo” In The “Indo-Pacific”—An Indian View, Yogendra Kumar, Probal K. Ghosh

Naval War College Review

While some security arrangements exist in the Indo-Pacific, there is no overall regional security architecture, geopolitical headwinds are causing existing arrangements to wobble, and loose groupings of countries are emerging either to strengthen or to weaken those arrangements. India’s strategic stakes are growing, but it faces capacity and capability issues that impose prioritization constraints.

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.

“A Cooperative Strategy For 21st Century Seapower”—A View From Outside, Geoffrey Till Apr 2018

“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?

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.

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 Mar 2018

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 Mar 2018

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?
