.......The Indian Ocean has emerged as a critical maritime space in the Asia-Pacific littoral in view of the transformed strategic, security and economic significance of the region. The Indo-Asia-Pacific region is the greatest maritime-littoral space that has the largest concentration of population, resources, developing economies, congested sea lanes, and contested territorial spaces. It is thus significant in a geo-political, geo-economic and geo-strategic sense.

.......The Centre for Security Analysis in collaboration with the Hanns Seidel Foundation organised an international symposium on "The Changing Oceanic Landscape of the Indian Ocean Region: Issues of Debate" from 13-15 December, 2006 at Chennai. Analysts, practitioners and academicians from Australia, Germany, India, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and USA participated in the event.

This book is a compendium of the papers presented and discussed at the symposium.
