The Dispute between the Anglo-Dutch View of International Maritime Order in 17th Century
In the 17th century,the game of maritime hegemony among the European powers was intense and fre-quent.In order to compete for the dominance of the discourse on maritime order,the Dutch scholar Grotius's Mare Liberum and the British scholar Selden's Mare Clausum came out one after another,and the two views of the international maritime order expounded in the two books were in stark contrast to each other.Mare Li-berum reflected the intention of the Dutch,the number one maritime power at that time,to continue to ex-pand its maritime advantage,while Mare Clausum reflected the purpose of the British,which was in a rela-tively inferior position,to safeguard its own maritime economic interests.The dispute between British and the Dutch over the international maritime order was in fact a dispute over the national maritime strategies of the two countries in the context of the mercantilist era.
