China's Rising Sea Power Summary

China's Rising Sea Power: The PLA Navy's Submarine Challenge by Peter Howarth (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australia)

This is a fascinating insight into Chinas strategic abilities and ambitions, probing the real depths of its plans for the twenty-first century.

China's Rising Sea Power explores similarities between Chinas strategic outlook today and that of earlier continental powers whose submarine fleets challenged dominant maritime powers for regional hegemony: Germany in two World Wars and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Using insights from classical naval strategic theory, Peter Howarth examines Beijings strategic logic in making tactical submarines the keystone of Chinas naval force structure. He also investigates the influence of Soviet naval strategy and ancient Chinese military thought on the PLA Navys strategic culture, contending that Chinas increasingly capable submarine fleet could play a key role in Beijings use of force to resolve the Taiwan issue.

This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of security and strategic studies, Asian politics, geopolitics and military (naval) strategy.

China's Rising Sea Power Reviews

'This strategic analysis work focuses on China's naval force structure, and most ably explores and examines difficult questions such as: What does China intend to do with its growing capability in submarine forces? And, how might the strategic stability in the Asian theatre change in the coming years?' - The Northern Mariner

'A solid piece of work for anyone interested in developing a better understanding of East Asian strategic development' - The Northern Mariner

'Does Beijing see itself as a regional maritime power? Is the PLA Navy positioned to take on the USN in the contested waters surrounding Taiwan? Dr Howarth examines such issues in some depth...[and]I was able to develop some interesting perspectives on this important global maritime common arena. I unconditionally recommend this book to all students and scholars with an interest in security and strategic studies, Asian politics, geo-politics and naval strategy.' - The Northern Mariner
