Eurasia’s Maritime Rise and Global Security

This book explores Eurasia’s growing embrace of its maritime geography from the Indian Ocean to Pacific Asia and the Arctic. The Indo-Pacific has emerged as a center for strategic competition, while the growing opening of the Arctic has begun to transform Eurasia’s strategic importance, altering maritime trade and investment patterns. The rise of maritime Eurasia has begun to alter the current status quo of world order that has long been dominated by the Atlantic World. This edited volume showcases some of the world’s leading experts and examines Eurasia from a saltwater perspective, analyzing its main maritime spaces in a threefold manner—as an avenue, as an arena, and as a source—to show the significance of these geostrategic changes underway and why it matters for the future of the world’s oceans.
