    This course will educate and inform participants about what sea power has meant historically and will examine what it means today and might mean looking forward. The “freedom of the seas” is a centuries-old precept, but many do not realize that the primary driving force behind that precept is commerce. Economics comes first, with naval strength being a necessary corollary to economies that rely on seaborne trade. A nation must have both a strong economy and a powerful Navy to become a “Great Sea Power”. The United States has exercised a hegemony for many decades that included its recognized position as an unrivaled naval power with the world’s largest economy. That hegemony appears to be disappearing rapidly. This SIG will consider who – in anyone – will guarantee freedom of the seas If the United States can no longer “go it alone”.
