Abstract

The article discusses the resurgence of interest in the concept of sea power and its geopolitical implications. Colin Flint's book "Near and far waters" explores the historical significance of sea power and its impact on national standing. Nicholas Lambert's "The Neptune factor" challenges traditional views on sea power, emphasizing its economic aspects and questioning Alfred Thayer Mahan's influence on naval strategy. The article highlights the relevance of sea power in contemporary international security affairs, particularly in the context of China's rising maritime capabilities and evolving global power dynamics.
