Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Straits as Systems presents a structural framework for understanding the world's narrow maritime corridors as dynamic, multi-layered systems that shape global order. Integrating geophysics, military geometry, economic flows, governance regimes, civilizational interfaces, and technological infrastructures, the book introduces the Straits Systems Architecture (SSA)-a comprehensive model for analyzing chokepoints as strategic organisms rather than isolated geographic features.Through detailed case studies-including Hormuz, Malacca, Bab el-Mandeb, Suez, Taiwan, and the Bering Strait-the book demonstrates how compression, dependency, and optionality interact to produce systemic leverage, vulnerability, and geopolitical consequence. It shows how climate change, autonomous maritime systems, cyber-nautical disruption, and undersea digital infrastructure are reshaping the strategic meaning of narrow places.Written for policymakers, analysts, scholars, and practitioners, Straits as Systems offers a unified method for interpreting global risk, forecasting chokepoint instability, and designing resilient governance architectures. It argues that the stability of the international system depends not on its vastness, but on its narrowest points-and that understanding these corridors is essential for navigating the emerging century.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Outer Fields is a groundbreaking analysis of how global food systems have re-emerged as strategic infrastructure in an era defined by contested logistics, economic statecraft, and geopolitical rivalry. Moving beyond traditional treatments of food security as a humanitarian or commercial concern, the book demonstrates how calories, protein, agricultural inputs, and the corridors that move them now shape national endurance, coalition cohesion, and political decision-space during crises. Drawing on historical anchors-from World War II grain logistics to Soviet era famine politics-and integrating contemporary evidence from China's agricultural strategy, the book introduces a rigorous analytic framework for understanding "Agri power" the ability to secure, move, process, and regulate food and inputs at scale in ways that enhance resilience and generate leverage. Through the lens of the PRC's "outer fields" campaign, the analysis shows how overseas production, state aligned trading firms, standards-setting, fertilizer and seed control, and port integration form a system designed to reduce exposure to maritime disruption while expanding influence over external actors. The book's Agri Power Matrix provides researchers and practitioners with a structured method for evaluating vulnerabilities and leverage points across logistics, seasonal timing, regulatory environments, and technology-enabled agricultural systems. Written for policy analysts, academics, agribusiness leaders, and supply-chain strategists, The Outer Fields offers a clear, empirically grounded roadmap for understanding how food-system dependencies emerge, how they can be mitigated, and how they may be exploited-intentionally or unintentionally-through regulatory, logistical, and market mechanisms. It is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand how food, inputs, and corridors shape strategic behavior in a world where trade-continuity can no longer be assumed.
