About the Book

The continental-maritime character of the Indian Ocean region presents a fascinating tapestry of history, culture, geography, ethnicity and political structures. The region is also an important oceanic space with political, economic and security imperatives for the global community. The challenges and interests of the stakeholders in this region are unique and their perspectives converge or diverge on different thematic issues. These complexities have and would continue to shape the strategic dynamics in the Indian Ocean.

This volume explores the various strategic dimensions of the Indian Ocean with the aim of evolving an inclusive and cooperative architecture that is tailored to the shared needs, aspirations and interests of the stakeholder community.
