Description

We will study navies and sea power in the modern world, from the 1890s to the present, concentrating on various thematic issues. The approach will be international, including Australia and the Asia-Pacific. Themes will include how far classical arguments for sea power remain valid, how far there are naturally naval and continental powers and national naval strategic traditions, how far navies have special capabilities, and modern naval and maritime strategic ideas. Other topics will include naval command and commanders, naval tactics, amphibious and joint warfare, sea power and grand strategy, and contemporary circumstances and the future of sea power.
