Whilst maritime studies tend to reflect the dominance of large
navies, history shows how relatively small naval forces can have a
disproportionately large impact on global events. From Confederate
commerce raiders in the nineteenth century, to Somali pirates
today, even the most minor of maritime forces can become a key
player on a global stage. Examining a broad range of examples, this
volume addresses the roles and activities of small navies in the
past and the present at the national, regional and international
level. In particular, it focusses on the different ways in which
such forces have identified and addressed national and
international security challenges and the way in which they
interact with other navies and security agencies. In addition the
collection also investigates the relationship of such navies with
non-governmental organisations, institutions and bodies in pursuit
of broader maritime goals, be they political, financial or
environmental. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach drawing on
the best new research from the fields of international relations,
security studies, strategic studies and maritime history, the book
examines the diversity of experience amongst different smaller
navies and also establishes areas of similarity. Divided into two
sections, part one begins with a number of chapters that are
theoretical in nature, whilst part two provides case studies that
offer a more regional focus, including analysis of the challenges
facing contemporary navies and historical case studies designed to
reveal the experience of small navies over time. By adopting an
approach that combines historical considerations with analysis of
current events, the collection offers a unique perspective on the
role that small navies have played in wider nautical affairs and
their continued impact upon global maritime strategies.
