Indian Ocean studies, which once lagged behind studies of the
Atlantic and the Pacific, is an important emerging academic field
which has come into its own. In the next fifty years, the Indian
Ocean Region will become very significant as a result of enormous
demographic changes. What was the Ocean of the South is rapidly
becoming the Ocean of the Centre, the Ocean of the Future. Curtin
University, Western Australia, has a long and distinguished history
of engagement with the Indian Ocean region and with Indian Ocean
Studies, and its Australia-Asia-Pacific Institute of Curtin
University continues to maintain a focus on the Indian Ocean -past,
present and future. This book examines a number of themes emerging
from its 2014 Conference entitled "Indian Ocean Futures", which
attracted some of the best Indian Ocean region scholars. The
conference connected humanities, social sciences and scientific
disciplines; this book collects some of the preeminent works
focused on geo-strategic, cultural, environmental security and
human security themes. The book is also an important contribution
to the building of academic diplomacy in the region - that is to
say, it contributes to region-building by creating epistemic
communities and networks between government, the private sector,
and academia throughout the region. Through the pursuit of academic
diplomacy, academics are capable of pursuing research goals which
enhance governmental, business, and civil society objectives of the
day. This book was previously published as a special issue of the
Journal of the Indian Ocean Region.
