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.
Current Issue: Volume 1, Number 7 From Coastal Defense to the Far-Seas: China’s Naval Strategic Transformation
From Coastal Defense to the Far-Seas: China’s Naval Strategic Transformation is a curated collection of 11 seminal articles originally published in People’s Republic of China (PRC) journals, volumes, and newspapers. Translated by the China Maritime Studies Institute (CMSI) over the last thirteen years, these works provide a roadmap of the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s (PLAN) evolution from a "coastal defense – near coastal defense" (yan’an fangyu – jin’an haifang) force to a far-seas navy. Organized thematically, the volume traces China's naval transformation from the historical lessons and strategic thought of earlier generations of leaders, through the development and formal adoption of a far-seas strategy, and concludes with a section devoted to the industrial and technological foundations required to build and sustain a blue-water fleet.
