Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s piece on India’s Indo-Pacific Ocean’s initiative, titled ‘The Strategic Imperatives on Modi’s Indo-Pacific Ocean’s Initiative’ has been published in the Asia-Pacific Bulletin in East West Centre, Washington DC.
The piece argues that with a prime focus on securing maritime boundaries, the IPOI stresses on seeking ‘partnerships’ that promote free trade and sustainable use of marine resources. It draws on three aspects of India’s Indo? Pacific outlook: purposive partnerships, a pluralistic policy and power promotion in Indo-Pacific.
