The fundamental issues of maritime strategy and naval power in the
Mediterranean, when considered over the broad spectrum of past,
present and future, clearly touch on the clash of civilizations. In
terms of the millennial political situation, this includes issues
of migration, the environment, geography, technology, economic
power and rivalries in those fields. It also touches on the
structure and interplay of international politics and international
law, as well as the traditional calculation of naval strength and
diplomatic manoeuvre. It is such broad and fundamental themes that
are explored in this volume, the product of the third Naval War
College-Yale conference on maritime and naval history.
The very name "Mediterranean," stresses context: the sea among
lands. In terms of international security policy and strategy in
this maritime region, this volume demonstrates that sea power has a
variety of contexts. These contexts have changed over time,
although many of the contemporary issues that observers emphasize
today are themes that have a long history of their own. Many of
these same present and future issues have supplied the context for
past events in the Mediterranean, but their importance has
sometimes gone unnoticed in maritime history, as the maritime side
of affairs has sometimes gone unnoticed within the common
discussion of other specialized themes. As several contributors to
this volume have suggested, it may be our understanding and our
interpretations that must be stretched to include both sides of
these issues, if we are to understand fully the varied contexts and
impacts of events at sea.
