Southeast Asia And The Rise Of Chinese And Indian Naval Power: Between Rising Naval Powers

The book examines the emerging maritime security scene in Southeast Asia. It considers highly topical implications for the region of possible strategic competition between China and India-the rising naval powers of Asia-with a possible naval arms race emerging between these countries both with naval force development and operations. As part of its Look East policy, India has deployed naval units of the Pacific Ocean for port visits and exercises both with East Asian navies and the US Navy, but India is also concerned about the possibility of the Chinese Navy operating in the Indian Ocean.
