| Summary/Abstract |
Lately, China’s politico-diplomatic and economic engagements with the Indian Ocean littorals, and its naval activities in the region, have become increasingly conspicuous. This paper aims to undertake a comprehensive assessment, not only of the trends, but also of the underlying factors shaping these trends, which makes China potentially an Indian Ocean power. The underlying factors examined are China's economic, strategic and geopolitical objectives and imperatives, and its national strategy – including its maritime military strategy – in the region. The paper concludes with a prognosis, and its implications for the region and India.

| Summary/Abstract |
Developments of the past few years clearly indicate China's quest to establish a permanent maritime-strategic presence in the Indian Ocean Region. With China fast emerging as a global super-power with the potential to challenge the primacy of the USA, this is accompanied with significant geopolitical, geoeconomic and security ramifications for the regional countries. This article attempts to examine the possible implications in terms of regional stability, regional balance of power, maritime security, maritime safety, economics and the adversarial potential in India–China relations. For an objective analysis, the study is based on two contrasting theories of international relations. When viewed in context of the Realist theory, China's presence in the region may lead to zero-sum outcomes. On the other hand, the premise of Constructivism could lead to “win-win” outcomes. The paper concludes that the outcomes are likely to lie somewhere between the aforesaid extremes, depending upon the actions of all states that have stakes in the region. It also attempts broadly to suggest the way ahead for all stakeholders in the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
China's efforts to build 'nodes' of influence in the Indian Ocean Region have been increasingly discernible in recent years. This endeavour, many argue, is driven by Beijing's military-strategic ends. However, such an argument remains a speculation, backed by frail and somewhat disjointed evidence. At least in the public domain, it may be too early to marshal tangible evidence to prove or dismiss the hypothesis. An assessment is nonetheless crucial because notwithstanding China's legitimate interests in the Indian Ocean, its naval presence in these waters would bear strongly upon the security calculi of India in particular and those of other major powers. From the study of available information, this paper attempts to derive China's objectives in the Indian Ocean, its approach and the attendant security ramifications for India

| Summary/Abstract |
In the coming years, India's maritime-military power is likely to play an increasingly crucial role in shaping the geo-political, economic and security environment in the maritime-configured Indo-Pacific region. This paper aims to analyse India's maritime security strategy promulgated by the Indian Navy in October 2015. The analysis goes beyond the text of the document, to provide a more profound understanding of four key underpinnings of India's strategy: historical and societal factors, maritime geography, political geography/jurisdiction and the China factor. The analysis begins with examining the salient changes in India's maritime-strategic outlook since its first strategy document was published in 2007.

| Summary/Abstract |
Energy security has become a major component of India's national security thinking and policy as its economy has begun to record high rates of growth. The criticality of ensuring access to foreign oil and gas resources will only increase with time as the gap between its demand and its domestic production widens. Furthermore, India's dependence on the seas is particularly overwhelming for its energy 'logistics' in terms of both its domestic supplies and overseas imports. With the worsening of the maritime security scenario in the oceans around Asia in recent years, as a result of low-intensity threats added to the persisting military insecurities, it becomes exigent to appraise the risk to India's vital energy supplies. This paper assesses the dominant aspects of maritime security that relate to India's energy security. Besides discussing likely military threats, the study also deals with aspects such as shipping and infrastructure capacity

| Summary/Abstract |
Human safety in the maritime and littoral domain of the Indo-Pacific region is fast emerging as an issue of concern for the regional countries. The paper attempts to examine the existing provisions and practices of the regional maritime forces with regard to maritime Search and Rescue and Humanitarian Assistance/ Disaster Relief, so as to identify voids in cooperative responses that may be attributed to either insufficient or absent “national will. It avers that this either due to overriding national security concerns, including sensitivities over national sovereignty, geopolitical considerations, or simply the lack of national policy emphasis. This manifests in the reticence of the countries to meet the obligations of customary international law and even accede to relevant global conventions, and impedes inter-state and regional cooperation for handling irregular migrants at sea and effective coordination of humanitarian relief operations during natural disasters. The paper concludes with some practical policy recommendations.

| Summary/Abstract |
The current trajectory of India–US relations is encouraging, but needs to be sustained by optimising their maritime-strategic convergence. In the maritime-configured Indo-Pacific region, the two countries could undertake substantive ‘transactions’ in the domain of geopolitics and military-strategic cooperation. In this context, the article examines four key aspects: the ‘restrictiveness’ and ‘permissiveness’ of India’s cornerstone policy of ‘strategic autonomy’; the emerging imperative for their navies to go beyond ‘combined exercises’ to ‘combined operations’; their joint efforts to uphold established norms and tenets of international law, while also recognising their nuanced differences on the interpretation of the law; and to progress defence trade and defence-industry cooperation. The article concludes with specific recommendations on each of these key aspects.

| Summary/Abstract |
Ensuring access to crude oil and natural gas forms a crucial component of India's security calculus. It also critically underlines the significance of sea transportation through which much of these vital resources are traded. With India virtually insular in terms of its land communications, its trade interests are increasingly focused on the maritime domain. Its vital interests in the security of sea routes at the same time are beginning to converge with those of Japan, the economic powerhouse of Asia, which being an island state is critically dependent on Pacific and Indian Ocean 'maritime lifelines' not only for its energy imports but also for much of its food and other vital resource supplies. As the Indian economy grows, the strategic congruence between the two states is likely to strengthen because of two factors; first, the growing Asian economic integration, and second, the geographic locations of India and Japan vis-à-vis the global distribution of potential sources of strategic commodities

| Summary/Abstract |
The armed forces are usually conversant with the rules on the use of force against the enemy in the traditional battle space. However, military forces are usually ill-equipped for this when the opponent is not a regular combatant but an un-uniformed person – a militant or even a criminal – operating in seemingly benign environs. This constitutes a serious legal void, particularly given the emerging environment wherein navies would be increasingly tasked to perform non-traditional constabulary functions. The trend is best exemplified by the case of the Indian Navy that was entrusted with the responsibility for the nation's overall maritime security, including coastal and offshore security. This paper examines the concept and the salient issues relating to rules of engagement (RoE) for maritime forces operating in the low-intensity conflict environment.
