India's Ocean: The Story of India's Bid for Regional Leadership - Routledge Security in Asia Pacific Series
Brewster, David (Australian National University)
This book assesses India?s role as a major power in the Indian Ocean. Many see the Indian Ocean as naturally falling within India?s sphere of influence but, as this book demonstrates, India has a long way to go before it could achieve regional dominance. The book outlines the development of Indian thinking on its role in the Indian Ocean and examines India?s strategic relationships in the region, including with maritime South Asia, the Indian Ocean islands, East Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Australia. The book then discusses India?s ambivalent relationship with the United States and explores its attitude towards China?s growing power in the Indian Ocean. It concludes by discussing the region?s evolving strategic order ? does India have what it takes to become the leading power in the region?
