The Great Game in the Indo Pacific A Pivot to IndiaThis book presents a comprehensive overview of the Indo-Pacific region by assessing the complex and intricate geopolitics and strategic overtures in the region, with a particular focus on their implications for India.

Unique in its approach, this book is comprehensive and future-oriented. It brings together the vast and diverse sub-themes on the Indo-Pacific while placing India at the center and mapping its prospects in the road ahead. Not only is the Indo-Pacific a pivotal part of India’s foreign policy, but New Delhi’s role in the Indo-Pacific theatre is considered crucial by regional and international stakeholders. The compilation of chapters by distinguished experts and scholars explores three key themes: India’s emerging power and the rise of the Indo-Pacific, India as a critical link in the Quad diamond, and India’s connection with actors beyond the Quad. Through these themes, the book provides a multidisciplinary and multinational approach to the India’s role in the strategic regional landscape, with a focus on security through a discussion of India’s air and naval strategies to respond to the growing flux in the region.

Offering a timely insight into India’s position and posture in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as its future trajectory, this book will be a valuable resource for India’s military and strategic community, as well as international audiences looking as India’s growing role in the region and beyond.
