| Summary/Abstract |
Article 121(3) of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea states that "Rocks which cannot sustain human habitation or economic life of their own shall have no exclusive economic zone or continental shelf." If any of the geographical features situated in the Pacific Ocean are considered "rocks" that fail the tests of habitation or economic viability, they will not be entitled to their own 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf. However, the paragraph and the tests contained in the article give rise to various questions of interpretation, which have become one of the main sources of maritime disputes between the countries concerned. This article examines the interpretation and possible application of Article 121 to five selected insular features that are situated in the Northern, Eastern and Western Pacific Ocean, namely Baker Island, Howland Island, Clipperton Island, Douglas Reef (Okinotorishima) and Marcus Island (Minamitorishima).

| Summary/Abstract |
In his classic collection of essays on maritime geography The Interest of America in Sea Power, Present and Future, Alfred Thayer Mahan opined that the importance of "portions of the earth's surface, and their consequent interest to mankind, differ from time to time."1 Just as the Mediterranean Sea once transfixed the minds of European strategists and policy makers, Mahan believed, at the turn of the twentieth century, the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea would obtain similar prominence in American strategic thinking. A century later, as we observe the relative balance of economic and military powers shifting to Asia and the Pacific and Indian Oceans, Mahan's teachings on geography are again instructive, as once seemingly insignificant bodies of water and island chains take on a new importance in regional security matters.

| Summary/Abstract |
Siberia is an immense territory that stretches for over 12.4 million square kilometers from the eastern slopes of the Urals to the Pacific Ocean. It took Russia more than four hundred years to develop this land in what proved to be the most ambitious colonization effort in history, during which one European people inhabited an area spanning from the eastern edge of Europe to the middle of North America's Pacific coast. Today Siberia's territory is large enough to easily accommodate any contemporary country. At the peak of the expansion (including Russian Alaska) this "European offshoot" (a term coined by Angus Maddison to denote territories occupied by European powers and subsequently inhabited mostly by descendants from Europe) was larger than the New World's Spanish colonies from Cape Horn to California and Texas, and could incorporate British territories in Asia three times over.

| Summary/Abstract |
While the Pacific pole of the Indo-Pacific is important, the primacy of the Indian Ocean in the national strategic calculus is far more critical due to energy due to energy dependency on the Middle East, increasing economic linkage with Africa, and the security of major sea lines of communication passing through the western ocean.
The Indian strategic policy framework should factor the nuances of emerging multi-polarity, and deepening of vertical and horizontal intermeshing brought about by the globalization process. While the stance of ‘strategic autonomy’ remains inviolate, the tenets of maintaining equidistance and balance among the power centres may prove to be constraints. The simultaneous management of mutually opposing paradigm across the strategic threads of politics-diplomacy-economics-security could be best served by a ‘functional transitional approach’ instead of a rigid straight-line, single point of departure policy.

| Summary/Abstract |
The trade between India and Vietnam is estimated to be 8$ billion targeted 15$ billion by 2020, whereas Sino-Vietnam trade has already reached $ 95.82 billion in 2015. The bilateral trade between China and ASEAN have reached $472 billion in 2015, which is over six times than that of India’s trade with ASEAN. The Chinese presence in the region is wide and deep. India and the US joint ventures need to work out a long term strategy which must not be limited to military and strategic; it has to scale up economic ties as well. It must succeed to dismantle excessive dependence on China, especially sourcing raw materials.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article argues three things. First, it argues that at the conceptual level there has been a strategic rediscovery of a maritime regional framework, the Indo-Pacific. Second, it argues that at the policy level there is a significant regional security convergence, a degree of strategic balancing, between India and the United States in this Indo-Pacific. Third, it argues that at the causal level there is a common maritime challenge from China faced by India in the Indian Ocean and by the United States in the Pacific Ocean, a common Indo-Pacific strategic challenge which is generating this significant US-India naval convergence. In order to deal with such matters, the article looks at the strategic discourse employed around the concept of the Indo-Pacific, and the related maritime assets deployed in the Indo-Pacific by the United States and India.
