'Chinese Maritime Strategy' a podcast with CWP alum Isaac Kardon

In the 2000s, China has undertaken an unprecedented naval buildup, expanded its investment in overseas ports, and pushed new interpretations of laws of the sea to secure sovereignty in its “near seas” while protecting its interests in the “far seas.”

In discussing China’s comprehensive approach to maritime power, Dylan Yachyshen sits down with Dr. Isaac Kardon to analyze China’s strategic conception of the “near” and “far” seas, China’s attempts to advance new interpretations of the law of the sea, and its investment in overseas ports.

Dr. Kardon’s new book China’s Law of the Sea: The New Rules of Maritime Order covers China’s efforts at shaping the law of the sea in further detail.
