This book provides a comprehensive survey of the development and operations of the navies of South-East Asia since the end of World War II.
The navies of South-East Asia have rarely been the subject ...of systematic attention but, as the maritime strategic balance within Asia becomes more complex and open to challenge through the rise of China, they will play increasingly significant roles. While most have had only limited strength in the past, the majority are acquiring new capabilities, notably submarines, which will profoundly alter their ability to influence events.
This volume outlines the difficulties that each navy has faced in developing capability in competition, not only with local armies and air forces, but with other national requirements. The authors analyse the way in which each has been shaped by history and by changing maritime strategic concepts, particularly through developments such as the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention. Drawing upon this contextual information, the book goes on to examine how the navies are likely to develop in the future, what new challenges they will face and the nature of the roles they will play within a region of increasing global strategic significance.
This book will be of much interest to students of naval policy, SE Asian politics, regional security, strategic studies and IR in general.
Small navies face two important problems: the difficulty of acquiring the requisite financial resources and managing them properly, and the need to transform themselves so they can cooperate as parts ...of multinational teams. The latter aspect is the most important factor affecting their continued existence.
In The Political Economy of Classical Athens - a Naval Perspective, Barry O'Halloran offers an account of the economic history of classical Athens in which its strategy of naval conquest provided the ...foundations for a period of unprecedented economic efflorescence.
With particular focus on the Asia-Pacific region, this book examines the rise and fall of sea powers.
In the Asia-Pacific region there has been significant expansion of sea-based economies together ...with burgeoning naval power. Many claim that these processes will transform the world's future economic and security relationships. The book addresses the question of to what extent the notion of 'Asia rising' is reflected by and dependent on its developing sea power. A central theme is the Chinese challenge to long-term Western maritime ascendency and what might be the consequences of this.
In order to situate current and future developments this book includes chapters which analyse what sea power means and has meant, as well as its role, both historic and contemporary, in the rise and fall of great powers.
This book will be of much interest to students of naval power, Asian politics, strategic studies, war and conflict studies, IR and security studies.
Charles William Meredith van de Velde (1818-1898), a former Dutch naval officer, cartographer and draughtsman, an adherent of the Dutch pietist Reveil with wide international connections, a friend of ...Henry Dunant and a co-founder of the Red Cross in the 1860s, travelled to the Near East in 1851-1852 (and again in 1861-1862), to make a better map and description of the Holy Land. In 1854 he published an updated Reis naar Syrie en Palestina in 1851 en 1852 ("Travels to Syria and Palestine in 1851 and 1852"). By then, after forty years of anglicising, Dutch-language books generally attracted small numbers of Cape buyers only. Still, more than a hundred people at the Cape ordered copies of Van de Velde's comprehensive and therefore, expensive, description of the Holy Land comprising two volumes. Were they familiar with the author, as a result of his two years of residence at the Cape in 1848-1850, where he had shown interest in evangelisation and had translated Messenger of Mercy by the British preacher James Smith, published by the Cape Town printer HN Marais as De vredeboode voor geloovige lijders (1850)? Were the pious at the Cape eagerly awaiting new information to understand their Bible reading, to follow the paths of Abraham, the walk of Jesus, or the trails through the wilderness and desert to the promised land?

Sentiment analysis is the computational examination of end user’s opinion, attitudes and emotions towards a particular topic or product. Sentiment analysis classifies the message according to their ...polarity whether it is positive, negative, or neutral. Recently researchers focused on lexical and machine-learning based method for sentiment analysis of social media post. Social media is a micro blogger site in which end users can post their comment in slag language that contains symbols, idioms, misspelled words and sarcastic sentences. Social media data also have curse of dimension problem i.e. high dimension nature of data that required specific pre-processing and feature extraction, which leads to improve classification accuracy. This paper present comprehensive overview of sentiment analysis technique based on recent research and subsequently explores machine learning (SVM, Navies Bayes, Linear Regression and Random Forest) and feature extraction techniques (POS, BOW and HASS tagging) in context of Sentiment analysis over social media data set. Further twitter data-sets are scrutinized and pre-processed with proposed framework,which yield intersecting facts about the capabilities and deficiency of sentiment analysis methods. POS is most suitable feature extraction technique with SVM and Navie Bayes classifier. Whereas Random Forest and linear regression provide the better result with Hass tagging.
