How should scholars analyze contemporary military strategy in the maritime domain? Captain USHIROGATA Keitaro’s new book Global Maritime Military Strategy 1980-2023(Springer) offers some answers. Based on the three strategic concepts of area denial, sea control and power projection, this book launch event analyzes the intensive conventional capabilities of six major powers’ military strategies (United States, the United Kingdom and Japan, the so-called ‘sea powers,’ and Russia, China and India, which are usually recognized as ‘land-powers.’)
