“SEA POWER” IN RUSSIAN AND FOREIGN GEOPOLITICAL THOUGHT
https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-676X-2019-3-124-135
Abstract
Sea power is the ability of a state to use its sea space efficiently both for military and civil purposes. This article is aimed at considering the evolution of the concept of “sea power” in global geopolitical thought. This issue is particularly important today, when the maritime space is increasingly becoming an area of clashing intergovernmental interests. This frequently results in various armed conflicts and foreign policy crises. Using chronological and comparative methods, I consider the evolution of this concept throughout the 19th-21st centuries. It is concluded that, despite the development of IT and international law, “sea power” continues to play a crucial role in the activity of a state within the maritime space.
