This book offers a multi-disciplinary and multi-national approach to key elements required to define power within the maritime domain. Edited by William de Sousa Moreira and Greg Kennedy, the volume is a collaboration between KCL and the Brazilian Naval War College.
It engages with the maritime domain as a multi-dimensional space embracing oceans, seas, waterways, including all elements of maritime power, related activities, infrastructure, resources and assets.
The book also illustrates the complexity and interconnectivity of the factors that contribute to the appreciation, creation, and application of maritime power.
Perhaps most importantly, it shows how the maritime domain generates power of its own volition, as well as acting as a critical enabler for the creation of other types of power, including economic, political, military, technological, intelligence and fiscal power. The book not only brings this variety of factors to the reader’s attention, but it also clarifies the links between them in creating a greater maritime whole, and it will be of great interest to students of maritime security, strategic studies and International Relations.
The book launch will be hosted by the Latin American Security Research Group (LAS) at KCL. Both editors will be present at the event, as well as some of the contributors.
