Former predoctoral fellow @tjamison_tommy recently published a new essay on Mahan's classic, "The Influence of Sea Power Upon History as Strategy, Grand Strategy, and Polemic". 👏👏👏@TheCSDProject
Read it here: classicsofstrategy.com/2022/…
Out today, Prof. @tjamison_tommy delivers a wide ranging analysis of Mahan's "Influence of Sea Power Upon History" that encourages us to consider the text through 3 lenses: polemic, naval strategy, and grand strategy. Give it a read!
Jamison writes: Like a piece of stained glass held up to the light, the Mahanian concept of 'sea power' is many things at once. It's a specific argument or polemic for one point in history; it's also an analysis of purely naval strategy.
CSD is pleased to announce a NEW PUBLICATION by Naval Postgraduate School assistant professor Dr. Thomas Jamison, on Alfred Thayer Mahan's "The Influence of Sea Power Upon History" as Strategy, Grand Strategy, and Polemic classicsofstrategy.com/2022/…

@Clementscenter postdoctoral fellow @deRaismesCombes traces the colonial roots of counterinsurgency (COIN) doctrine across Francophone Africa and Southeast Asia in her essay in @TheCSDProject. Read it here:
classicsofstrategy.com/autho…
"What rises to the fore in reexamining COIN’s development & application in 19th & early 20th cent French colonial adventuring is the unmistakable fact that COIN was created as a long-term occupying doctrine, not as a doctrine applicable for short-term nation-building escapades."
New essay! deRaismes Combes does yeomen's work in "Uncovering the French Origins of COIN."
