Conclusion

Conclusion
Sea states have proliferated since 1945 because, with a few notable exceptions, the ability to use the oceans freely for commercial purposes has not been in doubt. Sea states do not control the oceans; the shipping that delivers food, fuel and raw materials is effectively unguarded, often beyond the control of nation states.

Conclusion
No longer responsible for their own maritime security, they have failed to sustain or promote maritime identities, a national focus on the ocean or the naval forces needed to protect their own interests at sea.

Conclusion
Seapower flowed from inclusive political systems, oligarchic republics where the men of commerce and capital shared power with landed aristocracies and constitutionally constrained rulers. Political inclusion enabled the state to mobilise resources for the maintenance of costly navies in peace and war. Seapower navies focused on trade defence, backed by a deterrent battlefleet. Continental great- power navies lacked any connection with
merchant shipping or trade, focusing on ‘decisive’ fleet battle and power projection.

Conclusion
Modern sea states need to recognise the seapower heritage of liberal progressive politics, outward- facing economies and
global engagement the better to recognise what separates them from continental military powers

Seapower Today
Sea power strategy begins with diplomacy, deterrence and constabulary functions – which include economic sanctions, followed by economic warfare and projecting power from the sea. Sea states will continue to build and operate navies to
protect their vital national interests, and as part of the US- led Western liberal collective.
