Description

China's Rising Sea Power offers a compelling examination of China's strategic maritime ambitions and submarine capabilities in the twenty-first century. This Asian Security Studies volume by Routledge draws parallels between China's naval outlook and historical precedents, comparing it to Germany's submarine challenges in the World Wars and the Soviet Union's Cold War strategies. Peter Howarth applies classical naval strategic theory to analyse Beijing's decision to prioritise tactical submarines as the foundation of China's naval force structure, providing readers with critical insights into regional power dynamics and China's long-term strategic objectives. The book explores how submarine technology and doctrine shape contemporary Asian security concerns and geopolitical competition for maritime dominance.

Key Features

Compares China's naval ambitions to historical submarine powers including Germany and the Soviet Union.

Applies classical naval strategic theory to contemporary Chinese military planning and capabilities.

Part of the Asian Security Studies series published by Routledge for academic and policy audiences.

Authored by Peter Howarth with focus on twenty-first century regional maritime power distribution.
