Dr. James W.E. Smith is an independent strategic studies publication associated with Dr. James W.E. Smith, a Laughton-Corbett Research Fellow and strategic studies consultant. The publication focuses on maritime and space affairs, national and defence strategy and policy, defence institutions and governance, and the roles of navies and space forces. Its subject matter brings together military, institutional, and policy perspectives on the strategic challenges connected with the sea and space.

Through Substack, Dr. Smith offers readers a way to follow his work and subscribe to the publication. The listed areas of expertise suggest a focus on informed analysis of defence strategy, the organisations responsible for putting it into practice, and the evolving capabilities and responsibilities of maritime and space forces. The publication may be relevant to readers interested in strategic studies, defence policy, naval affairs, space security, and governance. Its identity is closely tied to Dr. Smith’s research and consultancy work, presenting a specialist perspective on national and defence issues rather than a broad general-interest news service.
