This book offers a multi-disciplinary and multi-national approach to identifying the key elements required to define power within the maritime domain.

Leading academics from around the world, who specialize in analysing maritime strategic issues, deliberate the impact of the American 'Pivot' or 'Re-Balance' strategy, and the 'Air-Sea Battle' Operational concept, on the maritime power and posture of a number of selected states. Intending to strengthen US economic, diplomatic, and security engagement throughout the Asia-Pacific, both bilaterally and multilaterally, the re-balance stands out as one of the Obama administration's most far-sighted and ambitious foreign policy initiatives.

This volume charts how the national strategic needs of the United States of America and Great Britain created a "parallel but not joint" relationship towards the Far East as the crisis in that region evolved from 1933-39.
