China on the road to becoming a sea power — is this the renaissance of A.T. Mahan’s and J.S. Corbett’s theory?

China is probably the first country in the world to attempt to implement the geopolitical vision of the land power and the sea power at the same time. In this paper, the authors discuss modern China’s potential to become a sea power. First, the authors briefly survey definitions of power as formulated in international relations studies in order to present their own notion of the sea power. Subsequently, they draw on a detailed account of A. T. Mahan’s and J. S. Corbett’s theories of features and determinants of the sea power to analyse China’s potential to build such power. In conclusion, the authors attempt to establish whether China’s contemporary policies implement the classic notions of the sea power theories.
