While serving as a historiography and biography of Qi Jiguang, the book also elaborates on the doctrinal applications of his ideas. Essays in this volume contribute to the field of China studies in light of the increased frequency of news relating to the maritime and military affairs in the region in the post-2000 period. It provides a specialist perspective to the uneven study of Qi Jiguang and maritime/military studies, while also satisfying the desire of the layman to understand the current political security situation in East Asia in the context of the longer term historical developments. 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aChina?History 606 $aSoutheast Asia?History 606 $aHistory of Military$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/721000 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912080 606 $aHistory of China$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715010 606 $aHistory of Southeast Asia$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715050 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 0$aChina?History. 615 0$aSoutheast Asia?History. 615 14$aHistory of Military. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 615 24$aHistory of China. 615 24$aHistory of Southeast Asia. 676 $a623.1209564 702 $aSim$b Y.H.
