Assessing China's Naval Power : Technological Innovation, Economic Constraints, and Strategic Implications. Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg, ©2015 9783662471265 Includes bibliographical references.1 Introduction -- 2 Naval Power and Its Role in China's Rise -- 3 Comparing Naval Capability and Estimating the Cost Impact -- 4 Producing Naval Weapon Systems: The Industrial Basis of Naval Power -- 5 The PLA Navy's Capability Profile -- 6 Strategic Implications of China's Naval Build-Up -- 7 Concluding Remarks and Summary of Results.This book analyzes the rise of China’s naval power and its possible strategic consequences from a wide variety of perspectives – technological, economic, and geostrategic – while employing a historical-comparative approach throughout. Since naval development requires huge financial resources and mostly takes place within the context of transnational industrial partnerships, this study also consciously adopts an industry perspective. The systemic problems involved in warship production and the associated material, financial, technological, and political requirements currently remain overlooked aspects in the case of China. Drawing on first-hand working experience in the naval shipbuilding industry, the author provides transparent criteria for the evaluation of different naval technologies’ strategic value, which other researchers can draw upon as a basis for further research in such diverse fields as International Security Studies, Naval Warfare Studies, Chinese Studies, and International Relations.Global power shiftSea-powerChinaInternational relationsGlobalizationMarketsChinaRelationsSea-powerInternational relations.Globalization.Markets.359.030951Kirchberger Sarahauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1082317MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484770503321Assessing China's Naval Power2597462UNINA
