Description: This book explores the 'Indo-Pacific' as an ambiguous and hotly contested regional security construction. It critically examines the major drivers behind the revival of classical geopolitical concepts and their deployment through different national lenses.
Review Quotes: "The structure of the book does justice to the diversity of the region in nine brilliantly researched and well-written chapters" -- Arndt Michael, Perspectives on Politics
"a very welcomed and insightful critical analysis of the Indo-Pacific...The task of giving some sense to this still quite ambiguous regional conceptualization is brilliantly achieved through a multidimensional analysis that considers geopolitical thinking influences, great and middle powers situations, interactions and narratives, as well as ocean regionalism and the experience of the Indian Ocean Rim Association." -- Christian Bouchard, Laurentian University, Journal of the Indian Ocean Region
