The Indian Ocean Region (IOR) is of immense strategic significance
on the global maritime map - not just on account of its centrality
to the current trade and energy flows, but also because of the
extreme disparities and inherent volatility of the region. The
region faces an array of security challenges, both traditional and
non-traditional. These include security of SLOCs, the problem of
piracy, the possibility of renewed terrorism at and from the sea
and the pervasive smuggling of people, narcotics and arms. The
narrative of regional maritime security is also characterized by
oscillating economic growth, growing military presence and a
rapidly deteriorating ecological balance in the Indian Ocean. A
stand-out feature of the IOR is the lack of correspondence between
nations on issues concerning 'security'. While using the high seas
for trade, transportation of energy, major powers have tended to
neglect the impact of the economic activities on the sea itself. In
contrast, smaller regional countries and island states with
developing economies have, at best, been able to use only those
resources of the sea which are vital to their survival. As the
challenges rise, the need to factor in and secure effective
management of the Indian Ocean has turned into a compelling
imperative. While governments and authorities grapple with complex
issues trying to forge a coherent maritime policy, there is a
growing recognition that unless solutions are found quickly, lives,
livelihoods, and in some cases the very future of local populations
could be at risk. This book contains a comprehensive overview of
perspectives of some of the stakeholders in the Indian Ocean
Region. It seeks to identify the key maritime security issues and
explores the potential contribution of the stakeholders in meeting
these challenges.
