Limited,[2014]©20141 online resource (234 p.)Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies seriesDescription based upon print version of record.1-4094-5184-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.Naval power and the quest for regional hegemony -- China's rise in East Asia: the political context of Beijing's bid for regional hegemony -- The offensive turn of China's naval strategy and doctrine -- The modernization of Chinese naval forces -- Taiwan and beyond -- Territorial and maritime issues in the China seas -- The great naval chessboard: sea power and the Chinese quest for hegemony -- Conclusion, (Not) born to be blue?The rapid modernization of the Chinese Navy is a well-documented reality of the post-Cold War world. This book makes sense of Chinese priorities in its naval modernization and argues that the orientation of Beijing's choices concerning its naval forces can essentially be explained by China's position as a potential regional hegemony. Lim highlights how a rising state develops naval power to fulfil its security objectives, a theoretical perspective that goes further than the sole Chinese case.Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies SeriesSea-powerChinaNaval strategyChinaChinaMilitary policyChinaStrategic aspectsPacific AreaStrategic aspectsSea-powerNaval strategy359/.030951Lim Yves-Heng1979-1573877MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787630803321China's naval power3849801UNINA
