This is the first book to survey the evolution of the strategic
basing systems of the great powers, covering an 800-year span of
history, from the Mongol dynasty to the era of the US empire.
Robert E. Harkavy details the progression of strategic basing
systems and power projection, from its beginnings at a regional
level to its current global reach, while emphasizing the interplay
between political and international systemic factors (bipolar vs.
multipolar systems), and technological factors. Analyzing the
relationship between basing structures and national power, the book
deals with such key questions as: the co-mingling of military and
commercial functions for bases; sea power; geopolitical theory;
imperial 'pick-off' during hegemonic wars; base acquisitions;
continuity between basing structures; and long-term shifts in
basing functions.
Strategic Basing and the Great Powers, 1200-2000 will be of much
interest to students of strategic studies, military history and
international relations.
