The Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies was launched on 17 September 2007 by Admiral Sir Jonathon Band, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff, Royal Navy.
[1] The centre aims to promote the understanding and analysis of maritime history and policy and to provide a forum for the interaction of academics, policy-makers and practitioners.
[3] It also has links with other academic departments, particularly the Department of War Studies, and has connections with other institutions, both official and independent, with an interest in maritime matters, including the Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre (DCDC), Laughton Unit, the Naval Staff of the Ministry of Defence and the Naval Historical Branch.
Edited by Greg Kennedy, Tim Benbow,[5] John Robb-Webb and produced by Ashgate Publishing, the Corbett Centre Series aims to promote the understanding and analysis of maritime history and policy and to provide an opportunity to stimulate research and debate into a broad range of maritime related themes.
The core subject matter for the series is maritime strategy and policy, conceived broadly to include theory, history and practice, military and civil, historical and contemporary, British and international aspects.
