| Summary/Abstract |
Changes in the Arctic topography due to climate change have resulted in the region, which erstwhile was remote with little accessibility, to being accessible with potential natural resources and attractive navigable sea areas. The prospects have also influenced the strategic contours of the Arctic and brought in many actors that view the region as a resource-rich area with viable commercial interests. The Arctic attraction has gained significance as an economic goldmine with estimates indicating the region to hold about 22 per cent of the undiscovered, technically recoverable resources in the world. The approximate breakdown as per a US Geological Survey report is about 13 per cent of the undiscovered oil, 30 per cent of the undiscovered natural gas, and 20 per cent of the undiscovered natural gas liquids in the world. About 84 per cent of the estimated resources are expected to occur offshore.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Indian Ocean Region (IOR), though considered an important maritime region, has not yet been accorded the due importance of a geo-strategic entity. One attributable reason is the 'sandwiching' of the IOR between two 'hotspots'-the South China sea and the Persian Gulf that divert the attention of nations from this area. While there are commonalities like 'Freedom of Navigation', the divergences-caused by varying strategic interests even while addressing common security issues such as piracy-have resulted in a sectoral view of the maritime security paradigm in the IOR. The security picture is thus affected by the waning interest and presence of nations historically linked with the region as well as the advent of China. This article examines how the strategic interest of nations is affecting the maritime security conundrum of the IOR.

| Summary/Abstract |
For a maritime nation like India, its conception of maritime security of the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and, specifically, its approach to maritime security has a long historical legacy. The modern Indian Navy has its origins in the colonial period. But it is the post-colonial period spanning independence and then the imperatives of the Cold War, and later to the interim phase in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union to the present day strategic partnerships-all of which have contributed to moulding the Indian perspective of maritime security. This article look sat how India's conception of maritime security in the IOR has been affected by these changes and challenges.

| Summary/Abstract |
Piracy over the years has been driven by geography, political instability and the availability of safe havens. Apart from these established factors, economics too play a role. This article reviews and examines Somali piracy, which has flourished due to the international community ignoring the growing instability in Somalia, the rampant illegal fishing and toxic waste dumping. It examines the international response, the legal and economic factors and advocates that piracy be viewed as a form of economic terrorism and be combatted as such, as well as by land-based operations.
