Using insights from classical naval strategic theory, Peter Howarth examines Beijing's strategic logic in making tactical submarines the keystone of China's naval force structure. He also investigates the influence of Soviet naval strategy and ancient Chinese military thought on the PLA Navy's strategic culture, contending that China's increasingly capable submarine fleet could play a key role in Beijing's use of force to resolve the Taiwan issue. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of security and strategic studies, Asian politics, geopolitics and military (naval) strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Howarth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041536891X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415368919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.38w x 0.67d","brand":"Peter Howarth","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064906199295,"sku":"9780415368919","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_980259bc-5742-40fb-af58-c81199426ef5.jpg?v=1768671831","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chinas-rising-sea-power-peter-howarth-9780415368919","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
