Description

This research aims to examine how and why a continental-oriented China has shifted its maritime strategic orientation and naval force structure from its coast toward the far seas in an era of interdependent international system. Generally, China is an ancient continental land power with an incomplete oceanic awareness. With the transformation after the Cold War of Chinas grand strategy from landward security to seaward security, maritime security interests have gradually become the most essential part of Chinas strategic rationale. This book contains six color maps.
