| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The emergence of the Indo-Pacific as a new geopolitical frame ofreference is embedded in the growing strategic importance of themaritime domain and the rise of states that have demonstrated theability to 'transcend' their respective subregions. However, the Indo-Pacific remains a concept in its infancy, as evidenced by the fact that itcontinues to compete with alternative conceptions of regional space inAsia. This article argues that India has a vested interest in the survival ofthis new strategic geography as it serves to reinvigorate the momentumof its post-Cold War re-engagement with Asia under the aegis of its 'LookEast' and 'extended neighbourhood' policies. In this context, India shouldcontinue to cultivate the Indo-Pacific concept and ensure its embrace inthe region's evolving strategic vocabulary. |
