“…The sheer extent of this maritime environment centred upon South-East Asia, as highlighted by Dibb and Richard Brabin-Smith, 80 raises the issue of the Australian Government's ability to provide and operationalise the necessary force structure and budget to defend the country's lines of communication and contribute to military contingencies. 81 Given this dilemma, it is hoped that a new generation of geographers will be brought into interdisciplinary teams of analysts and thinkers to evaluate the validity of this meta-geographical concept. 82 Such an intergenerational change, foreshadowed by Alex Burns and Ben Eltham, 83 would bring about Dibb's plea 84 to return geography to its proper place in defence planning in the post-Afghanistan era so as to focus on the country's northern and north-western approaches, its immediate neighbours and South-East Asia.…”

“…A robust geostrategic factor that acts as a common pressure for both India and Australia is the much discussed ‘rise’ of China. This ‘rise’ is, of course, complex and encompasses China becoming the second-largest global economy, its heavy investment in the defence sector, its acquisition of advanced military weapon systems and its transition to blue-water naval power (Phillips, 2013). For example, China’s pioneering of the strategy of anti-access/area denial (A2AD) to its littoral waters paves the way for regional power imbalances between it and other Asian nations, such as Japan and South Korea, and challenges the existing status quo in regards to the US’s role in the Asian region (Thayer, 2012).…”

“…China’s policy initiatives vis-à-vis the Indian Ocean have further exacerbated India’s apprehensions. China’s so-called ‘string of pearls’ strategy of developing sea ports in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Bangladesh and entering into strategic relations with India’s neighbours in the Indian Ocean—traditionally thought of by New Delhi as ‘India’s pond’—are construed in New Delhi as deliberate and calculated moves (Brewster, 2010; Phillips, 2013).…”

“…Parrikar emphasized as early as in 1945 that the Indian Ocean is 'a vital sea and India's future depends upon the freedom of its waters' and mentioned on building a 'steel ring' by creating bases on the entire Indian Ocean (Bay of Bengal, Singapore, Mauritius, Sacotra (closer to Aden) (Brewster, 2014, p. 20). Indian Ocean is 'globalization's cradle (Phillips, 2013) with nearly two-third of world's trade crossing the ocean, making it pertinent for India to play a constructive role in the region. Peninsular India has 1,200 island territories and a huge EEZ of 2.5 million sq.…”
