| Summary/Abstract |
The Indian Ocean region, being a vast geographical entity, is composed of various regional and sub-regional entities. This article addresses prominent maritime developments in the South Western Indian Ocean (SWIO) region of the Indian Ocean Rim and highlights the multi-dimensional growth of strategic maritime activities in the region. The developments, which range from security cooperation among nations to a rise in maritime piracy and regional cooperation for fisheries management, lend a distinct maritime perspective to the emerging geostrategic and economic discourse in this oceanic region of East Africa, dotted as it is with island and coastal states. The article then juxtaposes these prominent developments with the main concerns of the maritime states and their efforts to meet the challenges posed by the developments. The article also brings out the relevance of these concerns in the context of India's military maritime strategy and foreign policy goals in the region, underscoring the self-evident case for a more focused and multi-pronged engagement with the region, to harness the potential of mutually beneficial cooperation across various maritime disciplines. The likely areas of cooperation are discussed, with emphasis on the advantages that could accrue to India from these endeavours.

| Summary/Abstract |
Port had played an important role in colonial trade and urbanization. In pre-colonial period, riverine and maritime routes where major means of transportation, as there was a lack of fast moving, developed land transport systems. As a result, trade in India was mostly riverine and sea borne trade, rather than land borne trade. While riverine trade was mostly related to inland trade. Sea trade was related external trade.

| Summary/Abstract |
China's maritime development having come up against pressures and challenges in recent years, the concept of "strategic hedging"-that is, pursuit of and investment in policies meant to protect the nation against the effects of geopolitical and economic uncertainty-has emerged. One of its most important proponents is Gao Bai, an ethnic Chinese professor of sociology at Duke University (in Durham, North Carolina) and the author of the article "The High-Speed Railway and China's Grand Strategy in the 21st Century" ....1 Professor Gao believes that the 2008 global financial crisis and the return, through its own strategic adjustment, of the United States to the Asia-Pacific region mean that China's "blue-water strategy" has come to an end.
