This article explores the strategic thinking of Admiral James Stavridis, former Commander-in-Chief of the US Navy, on global maritime security. With extensive experience on the battlefield and at the negotiating table, Stavridis offers a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing the maritime world. The article analyzes how his deckhand experiences shaped his views on global maritime dynamics, and how he translated this understanding into a comprehensive maritime security strategy. The article uses qualitative methods with a textual analysis approach to examine James Stavridis’ thinking on global maritime security. Data are analyzed through data interpretation and matching techniques to identify key themes and connect Stavridis’ views to his operational and strategic experiences. The article explores how he views the interplay between maritime security, international politics, the global economy, and climate change. It also discusses how Stavridis proposes solutions to maritime security challenges, including the threats of terrorism, piracy, and geopolitical competition. The article concludes by assessing the relevance of Stavridis’ strategic thinking for policymakers and maritime experts around the world.
