This book examines US naval strategy and the role of American
seapower over three decades, from the late 20th century to the
early 21st century. This study uses the concept of seapower as a
framework to explain the military and political application of sea
power and naval force for the United States of America. It
addresses the context in which strategy, and in particular US naval
strategy and naval power, evolves and how US naval strategy was
developed and framed in the international and national security
contexts. It explains what drove and what constrained US naval
strategy and examines selected instances where American sea power
was directed in support of US defense and security policy ends -
and whether that could be tied to what a given strategy proposed.
The work utilizes naval capstone documents in the framework of
broader maritime conceptual and geopolitical thinking, and
discusses whether these documents had lasting influences in the
strategic mind-set, the force structure, and other areas of
American sea power. Overall, this work provides a deeper
understanding of the crafting of US naval strategy since the final
decade of the Cold War, its contextual and structural framework
setting, and its application. To that end, the work bridges the gap
between the thinking of American naval officers and planners on the
one hand and academic analyses of Navy strategy on the other hand.
It also presents the trends in the use of naval force for foreign
policy objectives and into strategy-making in the American policy
context. This book will be of much interest to students of naval
power, maritime strategy, US national security and international
relations in general.
