The Security of Sea Lanes of Communication in the Indian Ocean Region

First published in 2007, this book focuses on the security of sea lanes of communication. It takes a step forward in identifying key policy themes that can be applied to interstate cooperation around the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and discusses themes central to the economic well-being of Indian Ocean countries, as well as to many of the world’s most important trading states. The book raises a host of issues to which regional as well as non-regional policy-makers should give serious consideration.
