The Indo-Pacific: a 'new' region or the return of history?/ Manjeet S. Pardesi - 2020

An historical overview of Asia as a strategic system since the beginning of the Great Divergence is important because the recent need to rethink Asia in Indo-Pacific terms has been largely driven by the rise of China and India. Regions emerge out of the threefold interrelationship of politico-military interaction capacity, strategic perceptions of the regional states, and the perceptions and strategic behaviour of the great powers affected by large-scale political, economic, or military changes that have an impact on the military interaction capacity of states.
