Summary/Abstract |
ACooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower: Forward, Engaged, Ready” (CS21R) appeared in March 2015.1 It aims to “refresh” the strategy with the same primary title that first appeared back in 2007 and that has to a significant extent guided U.S. maritime policy over the past eight years.2 Navies both reflect and help shape the international context. They matter. So, when the world’s most powerful navy looks at its strategy and decides on a change, the rest of the world should pay attention, since the change will reveal at least some of America’s strategic preoccupations and help set the agenda, for a few years at least, for diplomats and other navies around the world.
