CMSI Quarterly Review
The China Maritime Studies Institute (CMSI) Quarterly serves as a comprehensive update on CMSI’s latest work. Each edition features recent CMSI publications, research in external journals, media coverage of CMSI scholars, highlights from the Institute’s educational and outreach activities, and a preview of upcoming events. Additional editions showcase legacy translations available in a collected volume. Published under the auspices of the U.S. Naval War College and the Department of the Navy, the Quarterly reflects the diverse insights of its authors and does not necessarily represent the views of the Department or the U.S. Naval War College.
