Dr. Vijay Sakhuja and Prof. W. Lawrence S. Prabhakar have sought to provide a net assessment of regional challenges and opportunities in this study of the Indo-Pacific region’s security dynamics viewed through the ‘maritime variant’ of the Regional Security Complex Theory. This scholarly work reveals the highly tense emergent order in the maritime zone of the Indo-Pacific. It is hoped that this volume, which combines academic insight with practitioner perspectives would spur critical thinking and assist India in
defining, articulating and building maritime doctrines tailored to deal effectively with the contemporary and future dynamics of the Indo-Pacific region
