| Summary/Abstract |
Based on the work of the Maritime Security Working Group within the Strategic Studies Network (SSN), this report provides both diagnosis and prescriptions regarding security threats in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). The IOR, a large maritime area that extends from coastal Africa through the Middle East and South Asia and on to Australia, is a major conduit for global trade, a littoral zone of developing powers, and the focus of a series of rising security challenges. Thus, not only is the security of the IOR of major importance for IOR littoral states, it is also of vital importance for much of landlocked Africa and Asia, along with major economic powers like China, the European Union and the United States.
This collaborative report highlights two overarching themes, the first being that the IOR, while of great importance to regional/global stability, needs to be conceived of as a key strategic zone. In short, security issues in the IOR must be addressed with a sense of urgency. The second theme is that this diverse region suffers from a lack of institutions capable of bridging gaps and easing tensions. The institutions that do exist are either ineffective or are of a very specific nature. Greater attention must be directed towards building shared perspectives on security issues, particularly as they relate to non-state or non-traditional threats.
This report reflects the desire of all participating experts in this Working Group to see comprehensive strategic assessments being developed within the global foreign policy community. Thus, this report is the start of strategic dialogues that hopefully will commence among IOR littoral states. The IOR is an essential conduit that draws in Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific. It is too often conceived within the limitations of a sub-region (like South Asia, Eastern Africa or the Gulf). The IOR is full of threats, but it also offers attractive opportunities for enhancing global security. While the IOR’s littoral zones are often divided along national boundaries, the IOR is a huge maritime domain, where no single country can guarantee stability and where a maritime context may offer unique chances to bypass barriers inhibiting cooperation on land. The opportunity for enhancing security is there and it is hoped that this analysis can assist in the formation of policies that help all actors and nations.

| Summary/Abstract |
In this article, the authors conduct a comparative review of the strategic imperatives driving Sino-Indian policy on Afghanistan in the post-2014 scenario. The article argues that divergent strategic imperatives make cooperation difficult and/or unlikely. This analysis is based on a broader consideration of both contemporary history and geopolitical dynamics shaping the foreign policy considerations of these two countries, and an assessment of the impact of ongoing bi-lateral and regional aspirations. The authors begin by highlighting the salient dynamics that have historically characterized and driven Indian and Chinese foreign policy in general and on Afghanistan. They find that Afghanistan, although not a primary focus of either state’s foreign or security policy, historically, is increasing in importance for both; India and China compete on a range of economic and security issues.

| Summary/Abstract |
Dynamics of Indian Diaspora in East Africa has been continuous point of attraction for researchers, academicians, policy makers and even general audience. Even a cursory glance reveals that dozens of research has been carried out by scholars and numerous literatures are available on the subject. However, there have been significant changes in the focus of the research. In the colonial period, political activism of Indians in East Africa was a major point contention between colonial power and nationalist leaders which is clearly visible in the writings of CF Andrews (Indian question in East Africa, 1921).

| Summary/Abstract |
Conduct of a peace process is too complex an affair to be left to any organ of the state. Bureaucrats are required to take care of technical aspects of an issue. When they are stuck, the political bosses have to take decisions of break the logjam, and very often, exercise leadership to garner public support.

| Summary/Abstract |
Starting with the incident now known as the cow's head protest, this article traces and unpacks the events, techniques, and conditions surrounding the representation of ethno-religious minorities in Malaysia. The author suggests that the Malaysian Indians' struggle to correct the dominant reading of their community as an impoverished and humbled underclass is a disruption of the dominant cultural order in Malaysia. The struggle is also among the key events to have set in motion a set of dynamics-the visual turn-introduced by new media into the politics of ethno-communal representation in Malaysia. Believing that this situation requires urgent examination the author attempts to outline the problematics of the task.
