China's energy-driven ‘Soft Power’ / Yoshihara, Toshi; Holmes, James R   Journal Article
Yoshihara, Toshi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract Energy security has prompted China to turn its strategic gaze to the seas for the first time in six centuries. For now, Taiwan remains Beijing's uppermost priority, but there are signs that Chinese leaders are already contemplating the "day after" matters in the Taiwan Strait to resolve them to their satisfaction. In the meantime, China is attempting to shape the diplomatic environment in vital regions such as Southeast and South Asia using "soft power." By invoking the voyages of Zheng He, the Ming Dynasty's "eunuch admiral," Beijing sends the message that it is a trustworthy guarantor of Asian maritime security. But the success of this soft-power strategy remains in doubt.

China's naval ambitions in the Indian Ocean / Holmes, James R; Yoshihara, Toshi   Journal Article
Yoshihara, Toshi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract This article argues that an increasingly sea-power-minded China will neither shelter passively in coastal waters, nor throw itself into competition with the United States in the Pacific Ocean. Rather, Beijing will direct its energies toward South and Southeast Asia, where supplies of oil, natural gas, and other commodities critical to China's economic development must pass. There China will encounter an equally sea-power-minded India that enjoys marked geostrategic advantages. Beijing will likely content itself with 'soft power' diplomacy in these regions until it can settle the dispute with Taiwan, freeing up resources for maritime endeavors farther from China's coasts.

China's way of naval war: Mahan's logic, Mao's grammar / Holmes, James R   Journal Article
Holmes, James R Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract This article posits that Alfred Thayer Mahan supplies the "logic" of Chinese maritime strategy, urging Beijing to amass commercial and naval fleets, international commerce, and forward naval stations-the trappings of sea power. Mao Zedong provides the "grammar" by which the People's Liberation Army will prosecute naval operations offshore. The article ranks Wayne Hughes's three generic models of fleet tactics according to Chinese strategic preferences, concluding that Chinese commanders incline to dispersed attack, sequential attack, and massed attack, in that order. By acquainting themselves with Chinese preferences, U.S. naval commanders can glimpse how this prospective naval adversary will wage war.

Clausewitzian appraisal of cross-strait relations / Holmes, James R   Journal Article
Holmes, James R Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract This article uses the strategic theory of Carl von Clausewitz to analyze how the 2008 elections in Taiwan and the United States may influence cross-Strait relations. The elections will affect governments, citizens, and armed forces, and thus the value Taiwan and the United States attach to preserving the island's de facto independence from the mainland. Surveying likely interactions across the Taiwan Strait, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that the China-Taiwan-U.S. strategic triangle includes one power, China, whose Clausewitzian "trinity" remains uniformly locked on eventual unification with Taiwan and whose patience is finite; a second, Taiwan, whose government and people are ambivalent and whose military preparations are lagging; and a third, the United States, whose government and people have priorities that do not include a clash with China, whose military is shrinking, and whose officer corps wants to avoid fighting in the Strait. This mismatch in political commitments and capabilities suggests that, far from bringing about an enduring rapprochement, the elections have done little to dispel potential conflict in East Asia.

Defend the first island chain / Holmes, James R   Journal Article
Holmes, James R Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract A strategic solution to the troubled waters of the Western Pacific is perimeter defense-but what kind? History offers options. Want to give China an ulcer, a nagging sore that compels Beijing to think twice about aggression? Then look at the map. Geography affords the U.S.-Japan alliance abundant opportunities to make trouble for the People's Liberation Army (PLA), denying China's military access to the vast maneuver space of the Western Pacific while hampering its movements up and down the Asian seaboard. Fortifying the offshore island chain while deploying naval assets in adjoining waters could yield major strategic gains on the cheap. Doing so is common sense. The only question is how.

Deterring China in the “Gray Zone: lessons of the South China Sea for U.S. alliances / Holmes, James R ; Yoshihara, Toshi   Journal Article
Yoshihara, Toshi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract If facing down a hostile actor in the “gray zone” is hard for a single actor, such as the United States, it is doubly hard for an alliance composed of actors with disparate capabilities, interests, and political fortitude. This article investigates how China has prosecuted gray-zone strategy in the South China Sea. We discern patterns in Chinese policy and strategy with the aim of helping U.S. led alliances face down aggression in maritime Asia.

Founding era for combined maritime security / Holmes, James R   Journal Article
Holmes, James R Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract In a nutshell the article posits that American naval power, and thus the United States' ability to police the seas, will continue to decline, and that Washington is attempting to compensate by fashioning a new paradigm of multinational maritime security. With no likely candidate for a global navy in the offing the challenge is to create one or more multinational guarantors of free navigation. I attempt to gaze into the future, discerning the likely dynamics of this coalition-building project.

History rhymes: the German precedent for Chinese seapower / Holmes, James R; Toshi, Yoshihara   Journal Article
Holmes, James R Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract We compare the rise of Chinese seapower today to the rise of Imperial German seapower a century ago. The comparison is worthwhile for two reasons. First, the comparison holds merits in its own right. We use German Admiral Wolfgang Wegener's three indices of seapower-strategic position, the fleet, and strategic will to the sea-to assess the two countries' maritime potential. This analysis leads inexorably to the conclusion that China holds far more potential for seapower that did the Kaiser's Germany. And second, the Chinese themselves are consulting German history as they inquire into the triumphs and failures of past great powers. Trying to divine how they interpret the German experience could let Western practitioners and scholars of grand strategy glimpse China's maritime future. In turn they can improve their own handling of strategy in East Asia.

India and the Proliferation Security Initiative: A US Perspective / Holmes, James R   Journal Article
Holmes, James R Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2007.
Summary/Abstract The article considers why New Delhi has shied away from full participation in the US-led Proliferation Security Initiative despite compelling national interests in improving Indian maritime forces and cooperating with the United States at sea. Some factors examined are polarized domestic politics, Indians' ambivalence about non-proliferation arrangements that formerly targeted them, and New Delhi's desire for regional primacy. Until Indian leaders come to believe that the benefits of PSI participation outweigh its drawbacks, they will continue to hold the initiative at arm's length.
