By way of background to understanding the current regional great power rivalry within maritime Eurasia, this book asks what we can learn from historic Eurasian maritime geopolitical players and their interactions that will inform and enlighten today\u2019s international relations practitioners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Great Power Clashes along the Maritime Silk Road<\/em>\u00a0examines three seminal historical cases of maritime clashes in the China Seas, four in the Indian Ocean, and one in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Each of these is an example of local or regional conflict reflecting the circumstances of time and place. The cases have been chosen to provide a comparative framework of significant premodern maritime clashes distributed along the full Eurasian maritime perimeter. <\/span><\/p>\n Lessons include understanding struggles between continental and maritime powers in Eurasia, and understanding the decisive impact that naval leadership, intelligence, technology, alliances, and identity have had in the past and will have on the future.<\/span><\/p>\n The Naval Review<\/em>, the official journal of the United Kingdom\u2019s Royal Navy, has favorably reviewed\u00a0<\/span>Great Power Clashes Along the Maritime Silk Road<\/em>, written by IHI Fellow, Dr. Grant Rhode.\u00a0 According to\u00a0<\/span>the review<\/a>, Rhode\u2019s book \u201cprovides a highly interesting and informative read \u2026 It also features useful maps, charts and tables.
