Balancing Strategy Sea Power, Neutrality, and Prize Law in the Seven Years’ War
Year: 2024 Language: English Author: Anna Brinkman Publisher: Cambridge University Press Edition: 1st ISBN: 9781009425551 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 299 Description: What is the relationship between sea power, law, and strategy? Anna Brinkman uses in-depth analysis of cases brought before the Court of Prize Appeal during the Seven Years’ War to explore how Britain worked to shape maritime international law to its strategic advantage. Within the court, government officials and naval and legal minds came together to shape legal decisions from the perspectives of both legal philosophy and maritime strategic aims. As a result, neutrality and the negotiation of rights became critical to maritime warfare. Balancing Strategy unpicks a complex web of competing priorities: deals struck with the Dutch Republic and Spain; imperial rivalry; mercantilism; colonial trade; and the relationships between metropoles and colonies, trade, and the navy. Ultimately, influencing and shaping international law of the sea allows a nation to create the norms and rules that constrain or enable the use of sea power during war.

Description: What is the relationship between sea power, law, and strategy? Anna
Brinkman uses in-depth analysis of cases brought before the Court of
Prize Appeal during the Seven Years’ War to explore how Britain
worked to shape maritime international law to its strategic advantage.
Within the court, government officials and naval and legal minds came
together to shape legal decisions from the perspectives of both legal
philosophy and maritime strategic aims. As a result, neutrality and the
negotiation of rights became critical to maritime warfare. Balancing
Strategy unpicks a complex web of competing priorities: deals struck
with the Dutch Republic and Spain; imperial rivalry; mercantilism;
colonial trade; and the relationships between metropoles and colonies,
trade, and the navy. Ultimately, influencing and shaping international
law of the sea allows a nation to create the norms and rules that
constrain or enable the use of sea power during war.
