What is China's Rising Sea Power : The PLA Navy's Submarine Challenge about?

<p><P>This is a fascinating insight into China&rsquo;s strategic abilities and ambitions, probing the real depths of its plans for the twenty-first century.<P><b>China's Rising Sea Power</b> explores similarities between China&rsquo;s strategic outlook today and that of earlier continental powers whose submarine fleets challenged dominant maritime powers for regional hegemony&#58; Germany in two World Wars and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Using insights from classical naval strategic theory, Peter Howarth examines Beijing&rsquo;s strategic logic in making tactical submarines the keystone of China&rsquo;s naval force structure. He also investigates the influence of Soviet naval strategy and ancient Chinese military thought on the PLA Navy&rsquo;s strategic culture, contending that China&rsquo;s increasingly capable submarine fleet could play a key role in Beijing&rsquo;s use of force to resolve the Taiwan issue. <P>This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of security and strategic studies, Asian politics, geopolitics and military (naval) strategy.</p>
