Indian Ocean Region : Maritime Regimes for Regional Cooperation Hardback
by Manoj Gupta
Part of the The Political Economy of the Asia Pacific series
Hardback
Description
It is a privilege to introduce the reader to this book, as I believe that it will make a signi?cant contribution to, given the dif?culties in the knowledge of the Indian Ocean, developing cooperation in the Indian Ocean region.
There have been numerous failed efforts at regional cooperation in different fora in the Indian Ocean.
As a result of the land-based orientation of the people in the region, the importance for countries to develop the power to govern the sea has largely been ignored.
The maritime approach taken by Manoj Gupta to the Indian Ocean as a region in international relations offers a timely and critical assessment of the potential for regional cooperation and ocean governance.
The political leadership in the region can no longer ignore the need for coop- ation in maritime affairs in the Indian Ocean.
This book enriches the literature on Indian Ocean issues as it argues convincingly that the security of nations, economic well-being of the people and health of the Indian Ocean cannot be divested from one another.
All are fundamentally dependant on the ability of the countries in the region to individually and collectively exert the power to govern the sea.
