| Summary/Abstract |
Our mental maps of the world, including our perceptions of where regions begin and end, can have profound consequences on strategic behavior. For decades there has been a sharp division between what we understand to be the regions of South Asia and Southeast Asia. The line between them effectively cuts the Bay of Bengal in two. These perceptions have inhibited a proper analysis of the strategic dynamics of the area. This article argues that the Bay of Bengal increasingly matters as a strategic space. Like, the South China Sea, security issues in the Bay of Bengal and its littoral states need to be understood and addressed in a coherent manner.

| Summary/Abstract |
THIS AUGUST will mark the first anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea. The heads of the coastal states unanimously regarded the signing of the "Caspian Sea Constitution" at the Fifth Caspian Summit in Aktau on August 12, 2018. as a historic and extraordinary event. Russian President Vladimir Putin called it epochal. The completion of more than 20 years of negotiations on the main Caspian treaty, coupled with the signing of intergovernmental documents on cooperation in the fields of economy, transportation, incident prevention, combating organized crime, terrorism, and the work of border agencies, opened a new chapter in the history of the Caspian Five regional mechanism.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article looks at India’s interests and strategy in the South China Sea (SCS). First, it highlights India’s maritime interests and discusses the relevance of the SCS to these interests. It then examines some key ingredients of India’s evolving policy initiatives in the region. The article argues that with a considerable expansion of India’s engagement with the South China Sea littoral states, India appears to be genuinely emerging as an indispensable element in the strategic discourse of this region. India could be a valuable security partner for several nations in the Asia Pacific region, provided it sustains a high economic growth rate and nurtures the framework of partnership that it has enunciated in the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
DEALING WITH THE GAMUT OF ISSUES that have caused disputes over the legal regime governing the use of the Caspian Sea is one of the priorities of Russian foreign policy. From time immemorial, the Caspian Sea has been a natural protector of our southern borders. It plays a strategic role as the crossing point of transportation routes between Europe and Asia, contains extremely rich offshore hydrocarbon reserves, and its waters are populated by a unique diversity of fish. The Caspian is a zone of our vital interests. Three regions of Russia are situated along its shores with 1.2 million people living in their coastal areas. The life of these people is directly or indirectly linked to the Caspian Sea, and their future largely depends on what path that region follows in its development and on whether there is domestic stability and peaceful coexistence among the five littoral states for which the vast landlocked sea is a shared legacy and a potential source of wealth for the future. Our neighbors share our criteria in assessing the significance of the Caspian Sea for themselves.
