Section 1: Historiography, biography and ideas of Qi Jiguang -- Chapter 1 Brief introduction to Qi Jiguang and discussion of issues relating to China's maritime defence and Qi's ideas -- Chapter 2 Qi Jiguang and Hu Zongxian's anti-wokou campaign -- Chapter 3 A terrible scourge: Chinese piracy, coastal defence in broad historical perspective -- Chapter 4 The martial arts in Qi Jiguang's military training -- Chapter 5 The arquebus volley technique in China, c. 1560: Evidence from the writings of Qi Jiguang -- Chapter 6 Zeng Guofan's application of Qi Jiguang's doctrines in the Taiping Uprising -- Chapter 7 The Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy and the history of coastal defence -- Section 2: Maritime and security environment during Qi Jiguang's enterprise and beyond -- Chapter 8 Early Ming's skirmishes with the Portuguese as an indication of Ming military developments and the military dimension of Luso-Ming interactions -- Chapter 9 The retrogression of overseas geographical knowledge during the mid-Ming period -- Chapter 10: Cutting dwarf pirates down to size: Amphibious warfare in sixteenth-century East Asia -- Chapter 11 Rebel with a cause: Chinese merchant-pirates in Southeast Asia in the sixteenth century -- Chapter 12 Naval technology, state power and the influence of Qi Jiguang in the late Ming -- Chapter 13 The rise of private maritime trading powers in Fujian and their inputs on the view of the sea during the Ming dynasty -- Chapter 14 The development of Ming-Qing coastal defence and navy.

This edited volume explores the larger maritime and security environment during and beyond the time of Chinese military general Qi Jiguang's enterprise. While serving as a historiography and biography of Qi Jiguang, the book also elaborates on the doctrinal applications of his ideas. Essays in this volume contribute to the field of China studies in light of the increased frequency of news relating to the maritime and military affairs in the region in the post-2000 period. It provides a specialist perspective to the uneven study of Qi Jiguang and maritime/military studies, while also satisfying the desire of the layman to understand the current political security situation in East Asia in the context of the longer term historical developments.
