Pentagon Press Reinvigorating IOR-ARC
includes flashpoints involving extra-regional powers; is host to a few of the fastest growing economies and emerging powr centres; and some of the crucial sea lanes pass through this space. At the same time, it is increasingly an area of rivalries, trans-national crime, non-traditional threats to security, tensions and disputes, highlighting the need for strategic and economic cooperation, particularly amongst the littoral and hinterland countries. The somewhat slow to take off Indian Ocean Rim Cooperation (IOR-ARC) initiative could become one smell effort to initiate such cooperation. The importance for closer regional co-operation amongst the countries of the Indian Ocean cannot be over-emphasised. There are positive indications that IOR-ARC may take on a renewed salience in the future due to renewed regional interest; it is likely that Indian Ocean linkages will improve, not just in matters of trade but also on a number of issues including non-traditional security threats and challenges such as sea piracy, climage change, food security, human security and environmental issues.

Pentagon Press Asian Maritime Power in the 21st Century: Strategic Transactions China, India and Southeast Asia
Maritime power has been a key defining parameter of economic vitality and geostrategic power of nations. The first decade of the twenty-first century has witnessed the rise of China and India as confident economic powers pivoting on high growth rates, exponential expansion of science, technology and industrial growth. Sequel to their steadily growing economic clout has been the emphatic resurgence of their maritime power evident in maritime shipping, port development and the concomitant expansion of naval power. Dr. Vijay Sakhuja, a former Indian Navy officer, in this pioneering study has splendidly elucidated and examined the resurgence of Asian naval power and its political-diplomatic, economic-commercial, science-technological-industrial, grand-strategic and the operational-doctrinal dimensions. Using a neorealist framework, the author provides robust and insightful analysis of how China and India as great powers, using their maritime military capabilities, would evolve and act in global affairs.
