Blue Web Doctrine: Maritime Strategy for the Twenty-First Century
What does Maritime Strategy for the Twenty-First Century look like when military power, global commerce, logistics, finance, and information warfare are inseparably linked? Blue Web Doctrine answers that question by presenting a new strategic framework for understanding how nations can employ maritime power, economic leverage, and commercial networks to achieve national objectives while reducing the costs of prolonged conflict.
Drawing upon history, classical military theory, economics, and contemporary events in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, this book explores how Maritime Strategy for the Twenty-First Century extends far beyond traditional naval warfare. It examines concepts such as protected shipping corridors, selective sea denial, economic pressure, insurance markets, supply chains, hybrid warfare, drone operations, logistics, and coalition management to demonstrate how modern nations compete for influence in an increasingly interconnected world.
Rather than focusing exclusively on ships, aircraft, and missiles, Blue Web Doctrine argues that the true center of gravity in maritime conflict often lies within the global commercial system that supports military operations. By integrating military operations with economic statecraft, commercial resilience, strategic logistics, and geopolitical influence, the book offers a comprehensive vision of Maritime Strategy for the Twenty-First Century that reflects the realities of modern competition.
This volume serves as the foundation for the Blue Web Doctrine Series, an expanding collection of strategic papers that further develop and refine these concepts through analysis of emerging conflicts, technological innovation, historical case studies, and professional discussion. The doctrine is intended to evolve through rigorous debate, practical application, and contributions from military professionals, academics, industry experts, and informed readers.
Ideal for military professionals, naval officers, defense analysts, policymakers, students of military history, and readers interested in maritime security, naval strategy, military doctrine, economic warfare, hybrid warfare, logistics, commercial shipping, geopolitics, national security, and international relations, Blue Web Doctrine provides an original perspective on the future of global maritime competition and the strategic challenges facing the world's leading naval powers.
Topics include: Maritime Strategy, Naval Warfare, Military Doctrine, Economic Warfare, Hybrid Warfare, Sea Control, Sea Denial, Logistics, Supply Chains, Strait of Hormuz, Persian Gulf Security, Commercial Shipping, National Security, Strategic Competition, and International Relations.
