Navies have become increasingly critical, particularly in the background of U.S.-China competition. Yet, the topic of maritime power development has not been explored sufficiently. In this webinar hosted by YCAPS, Professor Geoffrey Till, the author of How to Grow a Navy: The Development of Maritime Power, will discuss the development of maritime power and naval strength from historical and contemporary perspectives. He will illustrate the recurring patterns in maritime and naval development that determine their success or failure and examine whether China is following the same pattern illustrated by Britain’s naval development at the start of the 18th century.
