Abstract:
The Future of Contested Strategic Competitions in the Indian Ocean
The Indian Ocean has received new attention in recent years because of its economic and strategic importance. The region is seen as a theatre for great power rivalries mainly between the United States, China, and India. In this regard, this paper assesses how the Indian Ocean region is coping with the challenges of global powers such as U.S, India and China and its very different effects on states and ports around the oceans rim. Therefore it seems the Indian Ocean is becoming a more critical area in 21st century, when measured by the international energy and commerce that crosses its waters. It is important to emphasize that the Indian Oceans strategic economic value is linked primarily to global trade; less than one-quarter of its trade is among the littoral states, and the economic value of coastal subsistence activities is a modest portion of national income. In view of this importance, the present article reviews the importance of the Marine Zone, dimensions and dynamics of each of the countries analyzed, with a focus on United States of America and will be analyzed.
