Description

Originally published in 1989, this book reviews the history of maritime control measures from before the First World War and provides a critical examination of both the objectives of maritime power and the concepts of disarmament, peace zones, parity, verifiability and peaceful co-existence.

It argues that the objectives or maritime power are not necessarily incompatible with international security and that strategic deterrence can contribute to improved security.

Limitation measures, it is argued, can in some cases be double-edged, endangering other security fields and having a destabilizing effect.

The book stresses the need for non-absolute solutions in order to achieve a reasonable level of security and makes proposals for both structural and confidence-building measures along those lines
