The United States and China are each actively pursuing development of a Blue Economy to promote greater marine, maritime, and naval capabilities through more innovative, sustainable and environmentally friendly means. This book examines China’s approach to developing a Blue Economy, compares China’s efforts to developments in the United States, analyses prospects for cooperation, and competition, and outlines strategic implications arising from China’s linkage of the Blue Economy development concept to its Maritime Silk Road initiative. An understanding of the Blue Economy as it is being pursued in China and the Indo-Pacific region is extremely relevant for academics, industry professionals, and government officials.
