ABSTRACT
This chapter is the third of three chapters that considers limited war, limited interventions, and crises. It also considers non-state actors and the rise of international terrorism, and its maritime implications. It begins by offering a geo-strategic overview of the post-Cold War period with specific emphasis on internationalisation and globalisation of the maritime domain. The chapter also aims to offer some modest views on future developments in terms of maritime strategy framed in terms of the detailed case studies: coalition war against Iraq 1991–2003 and then China as a maritime power. It then offers a conclusion.
