Bowers: ​The modernisation of the republic of Korea Navy: Seapower, strategy and politics<img alt="" src="/media/PubImages/Bowers%20-%20The%20modernisation%20of%20the%20republic%20of%20Korea%20Navy.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" />Bowers: ​The modernisation of the republic of Korea Navy: Seapower, strategy and politicsThis book sheds light on one of the most under-studied but powerful navies in the world. Using a multifaceted approach, it examines how the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) has sought to transform itself from a coastal naval force focused solely on deterring North Korea to a navy capable of operating in the blue waters of East Asia and beyond. The project argues that peninsular and regional security dynamics, technological developments, the US-South Korea alliance and internal politics combine to inform and shape ROKN modernisation.http://forsvaret.no/ifs/Publikasjoner/Boeker/bowers-korea-sea-power-strategy-power
