Third World navies -- new responsibilities, old problems

Lee Dowdy

Marine Policy, 1981, vol. 5, issue 2, 147-148

Abstract: Two articles are presented below focusing on Third World navies. The enlargement of areas of national jurisdiction and the evolving new ocean order have led to the emergence of a number of controversial issues of importance to developing countries -- for example, enforcement and surveillance, offshore patrolling, and the development of naval capabilities to carry out such tasks. In the first article, Lee Dowdy, a research associate at Dalhousie University, examines the factors which place limitations on the abilities of Third World states to ensure their rights under a new ocean regime, and suggests possible measures which could be undertaken in Third World naval policies. In a complementary article Dr Michael A. Morris of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) takes Latin America as a case study of the expansion of Third World navies on the new ocean order. Dr Morris presents also a Third World naval hierarchy being developed as part of a broader SIPRI study, and applies it to the Latin American case.
