试析马汉的海权论对国家权力的重要性

An Analysis on the Influence of Mahan's Seapower on State Power

美国历史学家和海军战略理论家马汉在其著名的海权论中提出了一个重要的论断“海权对国家权力的重要性”,开启了研究国际关系的一个新视角,即随着工业时代通讯和交通技术的发展,地理因素在国家权力中的重要性。马汉对海权六要素的分析及海权对国家权力的重要性两方面体现环境因素对政治行为的重要性,不仅体现在它能限制人们的行动,也体现为能提供机会这一地缘政治思想。

As the naval theorist and historian of the United States,Mahan raises the important idea of 'influence of seapower on state power' in his famous seapower theory, which makes a new beginning of international relations study. That is, with the development of communication and transport technology in industrial times, influence of geographical factors becomes more and more important in developing state power.
