AI-generated Abstract

The paper explores the evolving maritime security landscape in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), emphasizing the significance of collective regional cooperation in addressing security challenges arising from energy demands, climate change, and geopolitical tensions. It highlights the contrasting nature of the IOR, with diverse cultures and economies, and the increasing involvement of both regional powers like India and extra-regional actors, particularly China. The discussion culminates in advocating for enhanced cooperative security arrangements to tackle non-traditional security threats and to establish a framework for future maritime security collaboration.
