| Summary/Abstract |
Globalisation and increasing connectivity have compacted South Asia, East
Asia, Australasia, and South East Asia into a composite Indo-Pacific region,
inter-linked by ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations), both
physically as well as institutionally. Globalisation has also catalysed rapid Asian
economic growth, which has propelled a shift in the global centre of gravity
to the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
The dispersion of power, marked by an asymmetrical multi-polarity, defines
international relations today. It is moulded by a constantly changing interplay
of factors pertaining to the domains of geopolitics and geo-economics. This
explains why scholars and observers come up with divergent interpretations
of what is happening in the global theatre, and why they are often constrained
to revise or even change their evaluations and projections. This reading applies
especially to the region of our focus, where perceptions prevalent in end-
2016 need to be changed in mid-2017; and this could happen again after six
months from now

| Summary/Abstract |
The worldview of the Trump administration appears drastically different
from that of his predecessors. The way President Donald Trump has
demanded defence burden sharing from NATO allies is unprecedented. His
first foreign visit to Saudi Arabia too was unexpected. More unsettling, of
course, has been the way Donald Trump as the presidential candidate, the
president-elect and as the new president in the Oval Office, has expressed
his views on friends, foes, and partners of the United States in the IndoPacific
region.

| Summary/Abstract |
The expression ‘Indo-Pacific’ is currently being used in three different ways
by the Americans. ‘Indo-Pacific’ is essentially used to mean the eastern Indian
Ocean as well as the Pacific Ocean which is the US Pacific Command’s
(PACOM) area of operation. The ‘Asia-Pacific’, on the other hand, is taken
to mean South-east Asia and East Asia along with the Pacific Ocean which is
also, broadly speaking, the PACOM’s area of responsibility even as it includes
continental landmass and populations which remain an important focus of US
policy of creating a security system in this vast area. ‘Indo-Asia-Pacific’, yet
another phrase, is a mix of the above two expressions which includes the
oceanic waters as well as the East Asian landmass. The use of ‘Indo’ in these
expressions also reflects the US desire to involve India in the maintenance of
the strategic stability in the area mentioned
