Abstract
Dr. Mullins’ introduction provides the historical context for the chapters that follow, and briefly lays out the methodological framework employed, and the questions he seeks to answer with it:
-
To what extent were the 1889 shifts in British and American naval policy reflective of internal factors within the two nations’ navies, in particular the strategic ideas of naval officers?
-
How were these ideas inspired, institutionalized and finally implemented by naval administrators within the context of naval policy formulation?
-
What was the overall impact of these ideas and actions—the influence of organizational culture—upon the content and process of naval policy formulation?
