"This volume makes a timely contribution to the literature on the Indo-Pacific. Bringing together a range of leading scholars from across the world, the book reveals the possibilities for conflict and cooperation across this vast geopolitical region. Featuring in-depth case studies—ranging from the Philippines to Japan to East Africa—the volume provides fresh analyses on this critically important region. I highly recommend this book."

"The Indo-Pacific is emerging as a strategically integrated arena of competition and cooperation. The editors and authors should be commended for this book, one that presents with clarity and in well-researched detail the Indo-Pacific strategies and visions of the partner states as well as varied reactions to them across this vast region. It is therefore a significant addition to the study of the international relations of Indo-Pacific."
Tsutomu Kikuchi, Professor, Aoyama Gakuin University, Tokyo
"This book is an important and timely addition to the developing literature on the Indo-Pacific, including sophisticated discussions of perspectives from India, Japan, the United States, Australia, China and the Philippines. The book is a valuable reminder that different countries construct ideas of their ‘region’ in very different ways."
Dr. David Brewster, Senior Research Fellow, National Security College, Australian National University, Canberra
"The Indo-Pacific is a region in the making and a region in flux, with multiple definitions of where it begins and ends. These incisive essays will help scholars and strategists navigate their way through a vibrant and evolving discourse."
