The Blue Economy in Australia: conceptualising the Blue Economy, its relationship with maritime security and its role in Australian oceans governance

Abstract

The Blue Economy concept seeks to sustainably manage the wide range of economic activity in the world's oceans. The Blue Economy in Australia explores the global evolution and contested interpretations of this concept, as well as its relationship with maritime economics and technological innovation. Due consideration is also given to the role of navies and naval shipbuilding in protecting and developing the Blue Economy. Commissioned by the Sea Power Centre - Australia for the Sea Power Conference 2017, The Blue Economy in Australia offers timely analysis of the Blue Economy in Australia and around the globe.
