The Conceptualisation of “Indo-Pacific” in the India-China-US Triangle
Journal Title: Bölgesel Araştırmalar Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
It is obvious that in the 21st century, the global power balance is changing. The Unite States’ relative power is declining, and the world’s centre of gravity is shifting from the Atlantic to the Asia-Pacific region. The rise of ‘two Asian giants’ China and India requires rewriting the strategies toward the region. The conceit of Asia Pacific now leaves its place to the “Indo-Pacific” conceptualisation. “Indo-Pacific” ist he perception of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean as a single ‘geopolitical/strategic’ region. The basic logic in the “Indo-Pacific” notion is to reduce the perception of Chinese power in Asia-Pacific and prioritising the perception of Indian power and its leading role coming from its ‘Raj’ legacy. The “Indo-Pacific” approach is the confluence of India’s “Look East/Act East”, China’s “String of Pearls & Belt Road”, US’ “Pivot/Rebalance” strategies.
