Description
For over 75 years, NATO has provided for the collective defence of the Euro-Atlantic area. Naval forces have always played a key role in this endeavour. This volume describes the development of the Allies' maritime strategies since the mid-1980s, traces the rise of maritime security after the end of the Cold War, and outlines the impact of America's relative loss of power, Russia's violent challenge to the European security order, and China's rise as a maritime world power. How have European and American navies coped with these changing times? Which fleets did they deploy, how, where and for what purpose?
The editors are naval strategist and political scientist Dr. Sebastian Bruns and the military historian and Commander (German Navy) Dr. Christian Jentzsch.

Reviews
“NATO is the most important maritime alliance in history, yet scholars rarely address its navies. This book’s 18 essays skillfully illustrate NATO’s 21st century roles at sea, how member nations generated their fleets and used them. They are an essential starting point for naval professionals, and students of international relations and military history, making this book indispensable for researchers on both sides of the Atlantic.“

“A sharp, forward-looking exploration of NATO’s maritime strategy from the Cold War to today’s new era of global tension. This volume brings together leading experts to reveal how allied sea power continues to shape security, deterrence, and cooperation in a changing world. It is both a reflection on the lessons of the past and a guide to navigating the turbulent waters of the future.”
