Book Description
This thesis examines United States interests in the Western Indian Ocean and recommends a policy toward the area. It analyzes the economic and regional importance of the main states in the area: Madagascar, Mozambique, Mauritius, The Comoros, and The Seychelles. Particular attention is given to strategic, economic and political considerations. United States policy objectives and options in the area are broadly explored and recommendations are made for a policy that is affirmative rather than reactive in approach to the area and its problems. This approach should not target a specific country but rather must look at the area in a regional and global perspective. (Author).

The Indian Ocean and US Grand Strategy
Author: Peter Dombrowski
Publisher: Georgetown University Press
ISBN: 162616150X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
The Indian Ocean, with its critical routes for global commerce, is a potentially volatile location for geopolitical strife. Even as the region’s role in the international economy and as a highway to conflict zones increases, the US has failed to advance a coherent strategy for protecting its interests in the Indian Ocean or for managing complex diplomatic relationships across the region. The Indian Ocean and US Grand Strategy presents a range of viewpoints about whether and how the US should alter its diplomatic and military strategies for this region. Contributors examine US interests in the Indian Ocean, assess the relative critical importance or imperiled nature of these interests, and propose solutions for American strategy ranging from minimal change to maximum engagement. The book concludes with a comparative assessment of these options and a discussion of their implications for US policymakers. This volume’s perspectives and analysis of the Indian Ocean region will be valued by scholars and students of US foreign policy, South Asia, and security studies as well as by diplomats, military officers, and other practitioners.

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 242

The book provides an incisive and comprehensive account of U.S. and Soviet strategies in the Indian Ocean by establishing and integrating the links between the economic, political, and strategic dynamics of the situation.

U.S. Indian Ocean Policy
Author: George M. Johnson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Economic assistance, American
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
The United States has national interests in the Indian Ocean region, and this paper recommends a US Government policy and a mid-range military strategy to support these interests. The interests of the littoral and major non-littoral nations are identified and examined. Alternative US policies and strategies are developed and evaluated. It is concluded that the primary interests of the United States in the region are to insure that the United States and its allies have access to Mideast oil, that the concept of 'Freedom of the Seas' is maintained, and that no unfriendly nation be allowed to become dominant in the region. The paper recommends that the United States place primary emphasis on diplomacy, and on economic and technical assistance to achieve US objectives.

The Indian Ocean as a New Political and Security Region
Author: Frédéric Grare
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030917975
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This book analyses the emergence of the Indian Ocean as security complex and a strategic space of central importance and also looks at its prospective future. As well as US-China rivalry, the India-China rivalry is now the defining factor in the Indian Ocean – irrespective of the strategic asymmetry. This new situation has opened a space for middle-powers, old and new, to intervene. The authors argue that this situation may turn into an additional source of instability and that the creation of an inclusive and comprehensive regional security architecture, as well as the strengthening of regional multilateralism, should be the priority of all stakeholders in the coming decade.

Rising India and U.S. Policy Options in Asia
Author: Teresita C. Schaffer
Publisher: CSIS
ISBN: 9780892064083
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
This report presents three alternative scenarios for India's future over the next 10 years, and its impact on Indo-U.S. relations. It integrates political, economic, and security analysis in assessing India's prospects, and draws on the results of a simulation based on a hypothetical India-Pakistan crisis set in 2009. The scenario for the simulation foreshadows in many respects the crisis that followed the bombing of the Indian parliament in December 2001.
