We invite proposals for papers presenting new and original research on all aspects of economic warfare and the sea between 1650 and 1950, for a conference to be held in Oxford in July 2017. As in the successful 2014 conference ‘Strategy and the Sea’: An International Conference in Honour of Professor John B. Hattendorf, we seek once again to bring together research students and early career scholars, established academics, and serving personnel, in the study of naval history.
